2×5 is a composition by Steve Reich written in 2008. It is scored for five musicians and pre-recorded tape or two identical quintets on rock instruments, in total: 2 drum sets, 2 pianos, 4 electric guitars, 2 bass guitars. It is described as a "rock and roll piece".[1][2] After writing the predominantly rhythmical Double Sextet, Reich was interested in writing a similar composition in a similar style for rock instruments.[2]
