New York Soundtrack
The soundtrack
for New York is Steve Reich’s
City Life / New York Counterpoint. It’s an accessible and very involving modern work, and if you want to find out where John Adams got his ideas for the Grammy-winning 9/11 memorial
The Transmigration of Souls, go no further. The soundtrack
of New York is the bustling of pedestrians, cars honking, tourists chattering, and (though less and less) someone screaming obscenities in broad daylight that would leave a Yugoslavian truck driver green with envy. I opted out and imposed my own audio-footprint onto the city.
