Though appealing to rock fans there is something that leads to it being composition in structure as opposed to just a written song if that makes sense.

Rhys Chatham is a name I am not familiar with but will be exploring.
I only have A Crimson Grail: For 400 Electric Guitars by Rhys Chatham which came out last year but it is an astonishing piece of work. Anybody who plays guitar should listen to it at least once.
