The Hindenburg
Composer Steve Reich addresses the transformative and unsettling impact of technology on the twentieth century in his work, "Three Tales." We hear "Hindenburg" — the first segment in this digital video opera collaboration Reich made with his wife, Beryl Korot.
Music and Technology
Prior Reich works have drawn from divergent influences such as non-Western and American vernacular music and taped interviews. "Three Tales" uses diverse sources of contemporary technologies (computers, recordings, video, samplers) as well as earlier tools (including looms) as a means to construct and approach a composition.
