Steve Reich - Electric Counterpoint (Quartet Version)

This is our quartet version of the canonic piece by Steve Reich, originally written for e-guitar soloist and a prerecorded track. In this version we added to the instrumentation acoustic and classical guitars as well.
In this arrangement the band is constantly switching rolls - "taking over" the presented new material and "delivering" it further to prerecorded track.
The performance is accompanied with a video projection of the band playing the other voices simultaneously.

Sound: Marc Duncan

For me there's no other genius of minimalism like Steve Reich. He's the best. Incredible masterpiece. Love also Music For 18 Musicians, Eight Lines and many others

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The mind is greater than brain topography. Beautiful performance.

As beautiful as the Pat Metheney version, even more amazing as seen as its just 4 guitarists....

Very nice performance. I'm curious to know the reason for including the non-electric guitars; maybe the effect is not as strong when recorded, but I'd like to know if there's a particular tonal enhancement you were going after with the new guitars.

Maybe I’m jelous but this is wasteful. They could have played baroque counterpoint instead. And they are picking each note, but still using tremolo pedals. You don’t need to pick but once. Just use the pedal. They are using it anyway
