Electric Counterpoint by Steve Reich (Mvts 2 & 3 performed live by Richard Durrant)

@gazza330 The point I.m making is that to not appreciate west side is unheard of amongst musicians.you are the first I have heard of. Therefore a bit worrying in someone pursuing music studies.

[gazza330]

@swandrum fair enough :P

Electric Counterpoint is one of my favourite Steve Reich compositions. This is a brilliant rendition. Thanks for the inspiration!

what a relief to be studying this after the dreadful west side story xD

(i did enjoy studying Grace though)

@gazza330 same, west side story hurt to listen to but this is amazing! We're just starting Grace now

[swandrum]

@gazza330 If you think West side story is dreadful you will never become a musician. It is most musicians favourite musical

[gazza330]

@swandrum interesting comment, although it is difficult to universally like every piece of music, popular or not..

i'm sure plenty of musicians that have gotten somewhere haven't inherently liked west side story :P

@swandrum I hope you realize music is subjective and not objective

It's not a SONG !

You might be required for your GCSE's to know that SONGS have WORDS.

@robzitinho have you not listened to buckethead?

[robzitinho]

@Brentypooz Yes and why?

I love this song, were studying it for Music GCSE and besides knowing all the ins and outs, its actually a great song. And i didn't know it was a live performance until i read the description lol, so i think that says enough. Well done.

[Dragonsvargon]

@megamegamario13 Exactly the same here, Im also doing this song for my gcse's although the analysis of the song is dull, the song is awesome

[megamegamario13]

@Dragonsvargon true, true, the analysis kinda ruins it lol, but i always like hearing the song. we're also doing Grace by Jeff Buckley, i don't know if youre doing the same songs, but thats another good one.

[Dragonsvargon]

@megamegamario13 Yeah, we did do grace too. Another awesome song, if you do Edexel we all do the same ones.

[megamegamario13]

@Dragonsvargon I think we do the same ones then :)

Overall, an amazing video/performance.
