As outlined by Max Weber in his book, ''The City'', "There are five things that make a city: fortification, market, a law code, an association of urban citizenry creating a sense of municipal corporateness, and sufficient political autonomy ...

It premiered in March 1995 and was recorded on the Nonesuch label in 1996 (included on '' Steve Reich: Works 1965-1995'').

These sounds include car horns, air brakes, car alarms and many other sounds associated with the city. The use of the samplers extends the idea of using everyday sounds in music, indebted to the taxi ho ...
