Steve Reich’s Clapping Music is a free iPhone/iPad app designed to engage audiences with a new music genre, using a novel interactive game-based approach.
Players learn to play an iconic minimalist composition, Clapping Music by Steve Reich.The aim was to inspire curiosity about a music genre that may previously have been unfamiliar to players, whilst collecting data to investigate what makes one rhythm more difficult to play than another.
