| | Disquiet: interviews: Steve Reich (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | Reich: First of all, a lot of things happened before I was even aware of it, so consequently, no one sent me a copy of "Little Fluffy Clouds" and said, "Is this alright with you." Because at the time they were relatively unknown, we didn't take any legal steps either, when we had that option. |
 | | Reich: The basic idea behind "Different Trains" is that the music would come out of the voice melody of the speakers, and there isn't any fiddling [with those voices], nor in "The Cave," any fiddling with the actual pitch or speed of the speakers. |
 | | Reich: Sometimes yes, but basically there are languages in the world, that we don't speak, you and I, but in Africa for instance, where they're called tonal languages if you don't have the melody right, then you don't have the meaning right. |
