this piece had more impact on me as a young musician than almost any. I saw them live in the 90's at the Redlands Bowl. Quiccan and Labyrinth completely changed my life. thanks for the upload.
The original studio recording of this appears on Labyrinth (1995) and I think it sounds even better on that than here (though it is fun to see it being played live). York, the composer, described it as a take on "aspects of metal shred guitar"...hence the joke at the end of this performance where they shake their guitars as if they were using effects or whammy bars on electric guitars etc. The original demo album of the guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela (their best recording, recording in a Dublin flat, with a brown & yellow sleeve) took some inspiration from this (or so I once heard) on a tune or two, though they relied on overdubs.
the shaking of their guitars at the end is for a natural vibrato used for when one can’t shake their hands on the fretboard (used for open strings and harmonics), not as a joke.
