Created in the early 1970s, Drumming is one of Reich’s most radical and influential works - a piece built entirely from rhythm, repetition, and gradual change.  

In this immersive 360° audio experience, the music surrounds you, allowing its shifting phasing patterns to unfold in real time and space. 

Spatial audio designers Loss﹥﹤Gain, working with the Colin Currie Group, reimagine Drumming as a fully three-dimensional sound world. Percussive lines drift, collide, and realign around the listener, revealing the precision, patience, and pulse at the heart of the iconic work. 

Part of Phase | Pattern | Pulse, this is a rare chance to encounter a landmark composition not as a performance in front of you, but as an environment you inhabit. 

Please note that Colin Currie Group is not performing live at this event.

About Phase | Pattern | Pulse

Across three distinct immersive audio programmes, Phase | Pattern | Pulse offers an exploded 360° insider’s view of some of Reich’s most admired compositions, revealing the inner structures of each piece in fresh and startling detail.  

Music for 18 Musicians - immediately rewarding and richly coloured, and perfect for those new to Reich.

Drumming - Reich’s most rigorous and immersive statement on rhythm, process, and hypnotic repetition.

The Sextets - compact, intense, and rhythmically driven.
