When I first saw it on the conference portion of the SXSW website,
I knew I'd be there: a conversation
between Thurston Moore, the singer and guitar player in pioneering art-rock
troupe Sonic Youth, and Steve Reich, the heralded American minimalist composer whose
percussion masterworks include "Drumming" and "Music for 18
Musicians." Moore,
at 49, is arguably the wisest elder of indie rock, his band Sonic Youth having
cranked out some 16 albums since forming in the early 80's, while Reich, who is
72, is arguably the greatest living American composer, having influenced a
subsequent generation of artists bridging classical music, rock, electronica, and
even hip-hop.
