about

Guitarist Emmanuel Jacob releases his version of Steve Reich’s iconic Electric Counterpoint.
-
There are already many amazing recordings of the piece available but, despite my love for this music, I never felt compelled to record my own version - partly due to the daunting nature of the project.
-
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was heavily moved by Dan Lippel's 2016 release of this piece and it inspired me to attempt recording my own unique version throughout the summer quarantine.
-
Drawing inspiration from African musical traditions, Reich's counterpoint pieces, Radiohead, Dan Lippel and countless others, I began the journey of creating an articulate soundscape that transports you along the ebb and flow within the steady groove of the movements.
-
None of this would've been possible without the help of sound engineer Amelya Hempstead who oversaw the entirety of this production and worked endlessly to achieve our vision.
