SXSW Conversation: Steve Reich & Thurston Moore

SXSW is pleased to announce that Steve Reich and Thurston Moore are confirmed for a SXSW Interview. Steve Reich has been called "...America's greatest living composer." (The Village Voice), "...the most original musical thinker of our time" (The New Yorker) and "...among the great composers of the century" (The New York Times). "There's just a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history and Steve Reich is one of them," states The Guardian (London). His instantly recognizable musical language combines propulsive rhythms and seductive instrumental color. Reich's style of composition has influenced many other composers and musical groups over the years, including Philip Glass, John Adams, King Crimson, Brian Eno, Sufjan Stevens and DJ Spooky.

Reich will be joined in conversation by Thurston Moore. As a member of Sonic Youth, Moore has been altering the landscape of rock music for over twenty years. 2007 saw the release of "Trees Outside The Academy," Moore's second solo album. As proprietor of Ecstatic Peace records, Moore has championed experimental and underground music. Moore returns to SXSW to present a showcase of Ecstatic Peace artists as well as the Reich conversation.
