Electric Counterpoint is a 20th century composition that is in three parts presented in its entirety here composed by Stephen Reich.

Stephen Michael Reich (born October 3, 1936) is an American composer known for his contribution to the development of minimal music in the mid to late 1960s. Reich's work is marked by its use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm, and canons. Reich describes this concept in his essay, "Music as a Gradual Process", by stating, "I am interested in perceptible processes. I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the sounding music." To do so, his music employs the technique of phase shifting, in which a phrase is slightly altered over time, in a flow that is clearly perceptible to the listener.

Minimal Classic is the best music genre. For anyone interested check out, Brian Eno, John Adams, Terry Riley, David Lang, Steve Reich ofc and my favourite Max Richter (particularly his song on the nature of daylight).
