About "Electric Counterpoint: I. Fast" by Steve Reich

Reich's first 'Fast' movement spins guitar loops into a dizzying hall of mirrors, rhythmic cells multiplying like cells under a microscope. The effect is both mathematical and euphoric—a clockwork garden where every mechanism blooms into melody, tension held in the gap between repetition and release.
