• 1. Steve Reich – Six Pianos
• 2. Terry Riley – Keyboard Study #1

Originally completed in 1973, Steve Reich’s minimalist masterpiece Six Pianos has been given a special 2016 update. Drawing on the intersection of contemporary classical and electronic music, the project features Hauschka, Paul Frick and Daniel Brandt of Brandt Brauer Frick, Gregor Schwellenbach, Grandbrothers and John Kameel Farah, all of whom found a new perspective on Schwellenbach’s assertion that “pianists are soloists and lone warriors by nature." Released on FILM Recordings, Six Pianos is accompanied on the b-side by another piece of minimalist history in the form of Terry Riley’s Keyboard Study #1, reinterpreted by Schwellenbach and Lukas Vogel.
