Steve Reich (b. 1936, USA)
It’s Gonna Rain, 1965

When I started fooling around with my album “Durations of Now”, I had no clue that the little ‘clever trick’ I had conceived of to enrich the sound had already a name – phasing – and was a staple in sound folk’s tool boxes. And that careers had been made of it – like Reich’s. And “It’s Gonna Rain” still sounds well!
