Melancholy’s List - A Few Thoughts on his Aesthetic Philosophy, Steven Reich Edition:

Steven Reich:

Performing and listening to a gradual musical process resembles:
      pulling back a swing, releasing it, and observing it gradually come to rest;
      turning over an hour glass and watching the sand slowly run through the bottom;
      placing your feet in the sand by the ocean’s edge and watching, feeling, and listening to the waves gradually bury them.
