Double Sextet / 2x5
Album by Steve Reich & eighth blackbird & Bang on a Can
Double Sextet / 2x5 is an album of compositions by American composer Steve Reich, released in 2010. It showcases Reich's later minimalist language—steady pulse, interlocking rhythmic patterns and gradual process-based transformations—realised through doubled chamber ensembles alongside amplified rock-derived instrumentation, marking a phase in his career where he extended his pattern-based techniques into larger, more rhythmically driven ensemble settings.
