[edit] It's Gonna Rain

Is It's Gonna Rain process music? I don't agree with that assertion...Process music more for Reich was starting something and then letting the resultant effects create the music... Dysprosia 23:16, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Yah, exactly, line the tapes up and let them go. Phase is the process.Hyacinth

Yeah, but It's Gonna Rain is a bit more complicated than just that, isn't it? I mean, there's quite a lot of cuts in it, no? I'd say Come Out is a better example of process music - even better are Piano Phase, Clapping Music, or (best) Pendulum Music. That's a really clear example - you can see as well as hear the process. I'll substitute Pendulum Music for It's Gonna Rain in the article. Hope that's OK with all. --Camembert

[edit] Systems music

Systems music seems to have a separate definition as a British type of minimalist music. (However, I have only heard the term once myself, and was told it just meant 'minimalism'.) It seems two or three of these articles should be combined. Ben Finn 17:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
