Happy Birthday, Steve Reich! May your celebrations loop endlessly in minimalist style—just like those groundbreaking tape loops you crafted back in the '60s. From "It's Gonna Rain" to winning a Pulitzer Prize for "Double Sextet," you've shown us that repetition isn't just practice; it's genius.Your compositions have reshaped music history with mesmerizing patterns and rhythmic brilliance. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy (and fewer technical glitches) than your early experiments with tapes ever did. Keep composing masterpieces—we promise we'll keep listening on repeat!
