Reich discusses:

• his early tape loop work, It’s Gonna Rain;
• his early ensemble work, Music For 18 Musicians, which has been extremely influential with electronic musicians; and
• Clapping Music, a work that explores the rhythmic possibilities of performing a short phrase against itself with varying rhythmic offsets.
