Steve Reich
Stephen Michael Reich (/ˈraɪʃ/; born October 3, 1936) is an American composer who, along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass, pioneered minimal music in the mid to late 1960s.
Reich's style of composition influenced many composers and groups. His innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns (for example, his early compositions It's Gonna Rain and Come Out), and the use of simple, audible processes to explore musical concepts (for instance, Pendulum Music and Four Organs). These compositions, marked by their use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm and canons, have significantly influenced contemporary music, especially in the US. Reich's work took on a darker character in the 1980s with the introduction of historical themes as well as themes from his Jewish heritage, notably the Grammy Award-winning Different Trains.
Writing in The Guardian, music critic Andrew Clements suggested that Reich is one of "a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history". The American composer and critic Kyle Gann has claimed that Reich "may...be considered, by general acclamation, America's greatest living composer".

Famous quotes by Steve Reich:
"I discovered that the most interesting music of all was made by simply lining the loops in unison, and letting them slowly shift out of phase with other."
"In serial music, the series itself is seldom audible... What I'm interested in is a compositional process and a sounding music that are one in the same thing."
"I'm going for the brevity award this year, ... To receive this award among so many great artists is in deed an honor."
"He was very good. He could sit at a desk and write this music and, unlike a lot of them who faked it, he could really hear it in his head."
