Song Exploder - Steve Reich – Different Trains: America, Before the War

Steve Reich is a legendary composer who was one of the pioneers of minimalism. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and the New York Times called him “America’s greatest living composer.” I had the incredible honor of getting to speak to Steve Reich about his piece Different Trains, written for string quartet and pre-recorded performance tape. It was first performed in 1988 by the Kronos Quartet, and they released a recording of it in 1989, which won the Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Different Trains is a piece about World War II and the Holocaust. It’s made up of three movements: America – Before the War, Europe – During the War, and After the War. For this episode, Steve Reich breaks down the first movement, which was inspired by his own childhood experiences.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - NEW MONEY: New Technology and How It’s Impacting Sports

“You don’t need to be all the way into crypto, but you do need to know that crypto is here to stay.”

In this episode of “New Money” with hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay, sports and big tech collide. The hosts are joined by former WNBA player Imani McGee-Stafford, linebacker Foye Oluokun of the Atlanta Falcons and Renee Montgomery, retired WNBA player and co-owner of the Atlanta Dream. 

The guests discuss the importance of learning about the financial pathways for professional athletes. More and more, investing in crypto is being discussed in the locker rooms and on the field as an opportunity for athletes to build their wealth during and after their sports careers.

Lastly, the guests consider the rise of NFTs and many ways athletes can take advantage of this new technology. As the barrier to entry for NFT creation lowers, a larger swath of athletes will be able to memorialize their personal brand and top moments in their sport careers.

Watch the full episode here.

“New Money With Spencer and Solo” is produced by CoinDesk. Our theme music is “Street Knowledge” by KC Carter. Art design is by Calaxy/CoinDesk.
