[Well.. I liked it.](http://motherboard.tv/2011/2/26/now-watch-this-angry-angie-dickinson-performs-steve-reich-on-lee-marvin-s-chest--2) > [@](#): > > Steve Reich’s 1972 minimalist piece “Clapping Music” was conceived for what he thought to be the only fitting instrumentation: two people clapping a pattern in 12/8 time, with one shifting the rhythm by one eighth note every 8-12 measures. Reich, like many others, obviously did not anticipate the YouTube generation. > > Back in 2005, George Manak and Peter van der Ham reproduced Reich’s piece in its entirety using a tiny 5-second clip of a scene from Point Blank where an enraged Angie Dickinson goes to town on a stoic Lee Marvin. ---

You know, the phrase “come out to show you” is common enough I wouldn’t be surprised if it hasn’t been part of the dialog of some movie, somewhere. Might make for a good mashup if anyone could find a clip. ---

I love youtube. That is hilarious…and very cool from a musical standpoint. I really enjoy Steve Reich’s work - what a fun/twisted way to make it happen… ---

“Angie Dickenson gets it off her chest” - a phrase that would have boosted Kleenex and Vaseline stock prices in the late 60s… ---

This reminds me of Lasse Gjertsen’s videos, such as [Amateur](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzqumbhfxRo) and [Hyperactive](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9698TqtY4A). Is there a name for this style of music? I see it referred to as stop-motion in a few places, though this doesn’t seem entirely fitting since it involves editing together very short full-motion clips with audio.
