Acoustic counterpoint surely?
Steve Reich sound walls are so hypnotizing.
Oh, those basses at 10:43 are pure bliss!
Get a shiver every time I hear it . . .
A music piece is powerful when you hear more instruments that are not there. Steve Reich creates sounds that only his brain can conceive. He's simply gifted.
This ensemble plays it well, so the individual parts merges into a whole and those ‘artefact instruments’ you mention come across loud and clear. There are other performances here which are not as tight, and it sounds like 22 people each playing little motifs instead of the dense, emergent piece it should be.
TIMELESS MASTERPIECES
I was sweating my fretboard wondering whether the camerathem would incorporate the camera squeaks that Steve included in the original composition but I am ecstatic that they were pulled off exactly as written! Bravx!!!
the beauty and complexity of the camera squeaks is what makes this masterpiece what is it known for, it chills my heart when i hear it

Music for 18 guitarists
Loved it!!
Superbe ! quelle belle reprise, merci.
Maravilloso
great recording
Endless beauty
what a sight this would be to experience firsthand man
Grandissimo Steve Reich
Isso!!
Mikiya Kaisho's hands are sweating like a faucet!
Yeah I noticed that, I thought his hands were shaking and was like poor guy. Then I realised all the sweat on the fretboard, I can understand why though
tysm
Next week "Hallucination City" by Glenn Branca. Seriously though, nice performance.
Awesome! But is that using the in-camera microphone? What about those condensors
Yes, it's just the smartphone mic. (Not even a camera...) The condensers were just for live amplification.
Hello! Such a beautiful performance of this piece. Where can I get the parts for each guitar? I can't find the individuals parts, just the score and the soloist part. Thank you!!!
I borrowed it from MDW-library (University of music/Vienna). Don't know where to get the parts... Good luck!
You'd have to rent the parts from Boosey & Hawkes.
Reminiscent of the Crafty Guitarists of Robert Fripp.
Wonderful ensemble, did they cull the older players?
What were the skies like when you were young?
They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona
And the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, er
They were long and clear
How do you get into an orchestra like this? 😱
Très bel ensemble. Cela pulse de façon élégante et pacifiante.
Where is You Wu?
More like Acoustic Counterpoint, but very well performed.
Wow what's with the 'you better not fuck this up' look she's giving him @0:21 lol
omg wtf
Aliens: Came cause of polychords :)
left cause of nukes :(
Jonny Greenwood?
Jahiro Bello Jonny Greenwood performs this piece here ua-cam.com/video/kG8GR1msPpo/v-deo.html 👍
That dudes phalanges are way too long
so basically Jonny Greenwood = 22 guitarists

Reich composed it for guitar and tape. The best known performance of it was done by Pat Metheny by himself, with a tape machine. Each of these guitarists can play the piece with just their guitar and a loop pedal too.
Hey wait this is acoustic
Adoro Steve Reich ma il chitarrista orientale ha rischiato di rovinare tutto
Ho ascoltato questo brano almeno dieci volte.... ma non capisco a cosa ti riferisci.
Nice experiment - but ..er..keep it to yourselves!
