This mesmerized me completely – no surprise since I am a HUGE Terry Riley fan, and also have a guilty pleasure streak for disco. I can’t believe I never thought of this. I am literally throwing this a DJ set very soon.

Yes, thank you. I was trying to do that last night but my tablet was having trouble copy/pasting to that site.

I just keep expecting them to synch up at some point and they never do. It’s like an awesome track with a xylophonist who’s out of time.

Just imagine a manic, science-and-history-obsessed doppelgänger of Scott Walker (c. 1968/9) singing over this, and it sounds just like Simon Bookish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-SYtAdDf10

They go in and out of phase anyway, and I think that’s part of the point, so no synching required!

I wish you (or they) had done the work for me to sync them up…I’m lazy. Sounds like LCD Soundsystem, actually…But maybe that’s just me being lazy again.

They’re ignoring this one, but I agree with your premise – it’s the dink dink dink, not the wakachicka wakachicka.

Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians used to get my cats’ attention.

(Edited to a better video of a live performance, which has the whole piece, so click on the link above.)

I think bright, punctuated music piques their curiosity.

I think I prefer the duet to either alone.

This actually disturbed the cats. Normally they’re oblivious to whatever’s playing, from classical to heavy metal to rap to acapella. They just fled the room.

This definitely cries out for heavy clouds of Heavy Duty Fruity.
