And for me, the feedback from the Kompakt people, especially from Mike, was a big motivation to start again. Tell me a little more about snapshots with sound. I think of minimalism as the opposite of mimesis, as something like pure abstraction, a reduction of musical elements to pure form. Minimalism is very old. It's not just Steve Reich .
Bells are very special.
They have always informed people. I lived for two years in Italy, in a church, and they had a lot of different codes, just to inform the people if a new child is born, if somebody dies, if it's Christmas, Easter, and so forth. So they have maybe 30 or 40 programs. It's funny, because in this church they had a completely computerized bell system. They could program a whole week, a whole month, a whole year.
