Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint, for solo guitarist and 15 other pre-recorded guitar parts, is a cosmopolitan bop referencing west African drumming rhythms and the constant thrum of New York City, dedicated to Pat Metheny; a lively and heady mix only equalled by Sasha Scott’s Rush – an energetic work by one of the UK’s most exciting young composers.
