The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Reich's work is marked by its use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm, and canons.
- Reich describes this concept in his essay "Music as a Gradual Process" by stating, "I am interested in perceptible processes.
- I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the sounding music." For example, his early works experiment with phase shifting, in which one or more repeated phrases plays slower or faster than the others, causing it to go "out of phase." This creates new musical patterns in a perceptible flow.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Steve Reich article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
