Reich in Motion
I've been listening to Steve Reich's music, on loop, for almost two weeks now. I'm not sure any other sound could be so conducive to working hours at a time. It walks the fine line that keeps my interest, but disappears as I focus on whatever I'm working on at the moment. It breathes with you... and before you know it you've worked for three hours, you love what you've done, and you have no idea how you did it. I love it.
To give back a little, I've managed to get lost for the last three hours rounding up some interesting videos connected to Steve Reich in one way or another. Enjoy:
Third Angle Part 1: Documentary
First part of two I was able to find. Not sure how long the real documentary is, and I'm not able to find it on Netflix, but even these clips are really great.
Third Angle Part 2: Documentary
Part two of ?.
Piano/Video Phase - Steve Reich & David Cossin

Powerplant Live 2005: Steve Reich & Kraftwerk
Minimal at Liminal (2003): Pendulum Music
Amazing. I wish the video was clear enough to see what kind of hit was making the sound.
Clapping Music
Possibly a high-school group. Looks fun.

Very ncie. His direct focus and rehearsal techniques are awesome. He would be great to work under.
You familiar with Phil Glass?
Yes definitely familiar with Glass. I wonder what I'd find on youtube.
On a related note, I should have included my pal Matt's piece that visualizes a Reich piece. Pretty amazing.
