You're not wrong. I had to play in an ensemble performing the second movement of his Electronic Counterpoint compositions. If I remember correctly, each guitar had to play a 3 bar loop with each bar having a different time signature. Some people were required to come in on weird off-beats too. In total I think there were around 13 guitarists, including 2 bassists. Those damn bassists messed it up when we did the final performance. The conductor did not look too impressed.His music can seem simple to play but works must take and enormous amount of concentration to execute properly.
