Ohhh Man this is Manuel Gotsching E2-E4.... Steve Reich... The foundation of electronic music...Instrumental... Amanzing!!!

Is Steve Reich aware of this rendition? It's the best I've seen on youtube so far! Great Work!

The stereo effect of the polyrhythms in this is amazing in headphones.

bravooo! been listening to the 'bang on a can' version of 2x5 for years but this recording with all the instruments in beautiful stereo atmosphere is an absolute 10/10

Aaaand down the minimalism rabbit hole I go again. So cool

Immaculate recording and performance, gentlemen. This is now my favourite recording of this modern masterpiece. Thank you!

This is what I needed this spring

I hear that! And this spring coming...

I love the use of stereo here to great effect. I wish all of Steve Reich’s phased music was played like this. It brings out a whole new perspective on his music. Come to that, perhaps 5.1 could be even better! The possibilities could be endless.

Una de las mejores piezas que he escuchado en mi vida

Wow... best version of 2x5 I've ever heard. On headphones of course.

Это русские ребята! Играют и снимают! Браво!

Fabulous ! Steve Reich added this "pop" music with bass to his repertoire, incredible

This is amongst the best piece of Steve Reich's work performance that I have ever seen or heard. The staging, playing, recording, production, filming, editing and mixing are all superb! Also the piece itself is so good. The sound of this band is fabulous.

Coming into this as a guitar player, the use of whammy/ring mod adds a really cool texture to the overall sound. That said, the sound and playing by everybody is fantastic

Agreed. But the high register of the guitar synth is a happy accident - 1 octave lower was intended but once Reich heard the effect he stuck with it.

I listen to this in the gym when I run. The tempo gives me a great pace to run to. So wonderfully well performed. All the best to the six guys involved, hope the war in Ukraine hasn't caught up to them. We're all better than the shittiness of imperialism and geopolitics... we easily fall victim to it, but we rarely ever see the benefits. Love to you all

ЭТО просто валит с ног! Спасибо!

I saw this at Carnegie Hall with Bang on the Can... The mix was so different at the concert than the recorded version. At the concert, the percussion was louder and had much more attack. This version gets much closer than what I heard at the concert. Also, when I saw this performed, they dod not do the overdub... they had 10 performers.

This is definitely the best version of this piece I've heard- I am in awe of your coordination and chemistry. I hope you guys are doing okay now, you are brilliant musicians and you and your countrymen do not deserve to suffer for one man's delusions. Держитесь!

Stunning recording of one of my favorite Reich pieces, excellent quality

My favourite interpretation and production of this awesome piece. IMO it compares favourably to the recording overseen by Reich himself :)

Comment #100. My favourite Reich, and now my favourite recording.

wow. bravo!

Top of the top!

Beautifully executed! Heart and soul. I was gripped by every passage.

Excellent

Wurli not Rhodes. It's similar but quite different.

Image: an escort carrier (36 planes) in the south Atlantic in 1943, the aviators stretched thin flying to keep watch over thousands of miles of ocean, their task only punctuated by the somber success of bombing a submarine on the surface and dooming its men to the sea or captivity. The ship takes rest off st. Helena and the crew and aviators explore the countryside and Napoleon’s hermitage, the melancholy Cold, windy damp of otherwhere. Then the call goes out-a German pocket battleship has slipped her blockade and is cruising the wild Atlantic I imagine shooting all of this as a montage prologue for a naval fiction war movie but hey

Are you planning on releasing an album? You should. It sounds fucking awesome!

Brilliant!

Bravo! So tight. Replacing the 2nd guitar part w/ a Wurlitzer (?) was a brilliant move. Sounds amazing...

@@stephenyeseta3926 So good... I just wish the Rhodes was a little louder, equal in volume to its twin guitar part. Overall, this mix is perfect (especially in headphones!) I really hope Steve Reich commissions these guys for his next electric project. In my opinion this and Mats Bergström's versions are the definitive ones.

Yes, it's a Wurli.

IMO this like a better alternative version of post rock ahahaha because its not that hard to listen/enjoy as an avant garde piece and more like 'what can we do with rock instruments besides rock' in a very reichy phasing/minimalistic approach ofc! i absolutely love it! oh the patterns...!!!

wouldn't I love the multi tracks...get the string quartet in, plus vibes, re-trigger the snares to......and some swells or arcs, perhaps a sequencer in the background. Has anyone got MIDI of it?

WOUAHHHH! Un son Zappaien ( type " Packard Goose " ).Dommage qu'ils n'aient pas mis la belle Vicky Chow au piano!! Some more!!!!:-)))

So good! I do like this version even better than the great Bang on a Can version!

yes, fucking, sir! brilliant.

Hello! This was truly amazing rendition! I wonder where I can buy/find the sheet music for these Steve Reich composition?

Interesting - the second guitar has been replaced by a Wurlitzer electric piano. Not sure if that sound works as well, but the performance is A+.

It’s their adaptation. The piece calls for four guitars.

This but as a regular band. Do you guys play together regularly?

The audio production on this recording is quite nice and very suitable to Reich's composition style. I am very curious to know what model octave/transposition pedal the guitarist is using. Looks like maybe the Electroharmonix Pitch Fork?

@@SteveWang251 Yeah, that's the sound. You can hear at different points all through the song, actually. Interestingly an octave pedal is specified in the annotation of the composition, simply stating that particular notated phrases should be played with such a pedal rather than playing an octave higher in pitch. I assume this is for the desired timbre, but could be for other reasons. Pitch Fork is capable of polyphonic transposition, blending dry with octave up/down as well as other intervals in "Dual" mode. I'm not sure what settings the player used, but the timbre sounds to me as though there is additive harmony and not just octave transposition.

What's the name of the band ?

This is awesome but the visual editing puts the instruments on the wrong side of the screen compared to which audio channel they're in frequently and kinda ruin the whole point of split-screening multiple players at once.

russian accuracy!

They are descendants of Russian Constructivism in music. However, the time is worse.　Sorry. ..
