Steve Reich is a composer, musician, videographer (United States).
Stephen Michael Reich ( RYSHE; born October 3, 1936) is an American composer best known as a pioneer of minimal music in the mid to late 1960s. Reich's work is marked by its use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm, and canons. Reich describes this concept in his essay, "Music as a Gradual Process", by stating, "I am interested in perceptible processes. I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the sounding music." For example, his early works experiment with phase shifting, in which one or more repeated phrases plays slower or faster than the others, causing it to go "out of phase." This creates new musical patterns in a perceptible flow.

Our library holds 147 musicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 13 of them (9%) have the Moon in Taurus, like Steve Reich, and 6 (4%) share the Krittika Nakshatra — the #6 most common Moon Nakshatra among musicians, where Anuradha leads with 10 (7%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
