terry riley c/d, s/d

should be able to make it.

"reed streams" is pretty nice as you get to hear some early examples of his delay/'time lag accumulator' based work, plus l'infonie doing their version of "in c."

"persian surgery dervishes" is four sides of organ+megadelay floating goodness. "rainbow in curved air" (and this soundtrack he did i can never remember the name of) is similar but more layered and with more instruments in the mix. "shri camel" plows the same row, but centers on synth.

"olson III" is kind of "in c" for dummies - simple orchestral repetition and variation, supposedly a big influence on the parson sound/trad gras och stenar/int'l harvester axis in sweden.

i've never been a big fan of "in c," truth be told - it could be argued that his 'dervish' style probably isn't regarded as seriously but it's great to listen to very early in the morning.

oh yeah I heard that and enjoyed it, actually, even though it doesn't sound that exciting but it must have been quite a revelation at the time.

I have to listen to Church of Anthrax again; it's been a while. I met Riley once in NYC and asked him what he thought about that one, and he simply laughed (either sugggesting it was a younger, more 'naive' period in his career or that it was a hellish experience).

Puts on a terrific live show, total virtuoso on piano. I had a friend when I lived in Seattle and he told me about attending one of Riley's all-night drone concerts (I think it was sometime back in the 70s or early 80s), and everyone brought sleeping bags, etc., and drifted off to sleep in the hallway under the loops.

well, at the back pages of a magazine called THE WIRE you have a gig guide.

but anyway, now you know abt that terry riley gig so I look forward to seeing you there dada.

I saw him live once and it was good overall, except I didn't like his singing Indian classical style in English.

i love Music for the Gift (thanks Gaz, i went out and bought that after your last recomendation)

i really like You're NoGood but i only have an mp3 of it. never sucked it up and spent the 30$ of it.

i kinda like Poppy No Good. Shri Camel is very similar in sound to this and therefore i like it about the same

i think In C is a great idea, but the one version i've heard didn't do it for me. too plinky plunky

i'd love to know on which albums he sings. it's always sounded interesting to me.

what's the deal with Gavin Bryars? should i read the archives? and does Tom Waits detract from the album he's on (the only one i ever see)

The other albums I love the most are 'rainbow in curved air', 'persian surgery dervishes', decending moonshine dervishes', 'shri camel'.

I've never gotten too into the stuff with kronos myself but I can see why they're popular. His 'foresight' piece for rova is good.

If you're interested in terry's modal singing, he sings on 'ten songs of the two prophets', scored for a duo of just-intoned prophet 5's. I really grew to love this record, particularly the last track.

Of the recent Cortical reissue series, 'reed streams' I've listened to quite a bit. The others are interesting documents if you have the money, like 'You're Nogood'.

There's a piece called 'night music' for solo piano which he keeps playing in concert. The long wait for a recording of this has been painful to me.

absolutely otm.

whatchootalkin'bout new stuff, rockist?

From Forced Exposure:

"On this CD, the European avant-garde meets American minimalism; an 18th-century double bass teams up with a 21st-century synthesizer; jazz and Indian raga and extended techniques are inextricably linked. Recorded over a period of a year and a half in three separate locations around the globe, this album highlights two musician-composers and distills their concertizing, touring, and refining the intricacies of their collaboration. Terry Riley and Stefano Scodanibbio have mastered their instruments to the point of transcending them, so that it would be simplistic to define their work together as duets for contrabass and keyboards. Each of them coaxes such a complex range of timbres and hues and textures from their instruments that it's hard to believe such a variety of sounds is created by only two men. Much connects Terry Riley and Stefano Scodanibbio: both are equally comfortable with improvisation and classical notated music; both enjoy the exploration of tuning systems, harmonics, and the world of overtones, and use them to create new worlds of sounds. Together they take us beyond our perceptions of instrumental boundaries." Recorded 1998-2000, Riley sings the words of Pandi Pran Nath on one track.

I love Riley so much. My favorites are still 'Harp of New Albion' and the others mentioned above, but I finally got that first Cortical CD with 'Bird of Paradise' and 'Mescalin Mix' and... my god. That is some advanced, crazy tapework, the way the line between live musicians and loops blurs back and forth... Riley was right to be miffed at Reich for stealing the loop idea, Riley was already phasing away.

Also: 'Atlantis Nath' has a regular price now. It's all over the place and starts off with some goofy keyboard sounds, but the opening multitracked voice drone kills, there's a fantastic 15 minute piano solo in the middle, the ending is extended bliss and the rest grows on you

noize ysi pls.

riley did a fair amount of noise, there's also 1961's 'two sounds' with la monte young; riley scraping a metal can in circles against a window and young dragging a chair along the floor for thirty minutes... the sound of it puts the kids to shame

yeah, there are stories of young performances that were earth-shatteringly loud - people having to leave, and so forth

its raining at the world series.

Definitely.

is youre no good great?

Yes but IIRC the CD is kind of expensive for just that one track. It seems like a good candidate for downloading.

I like his works in 'just intonation' (basically & non technically modern instruments are all slightly out of tune - just intonation is pure natural tuning & sounds lovely);

Shri Camel got me into Terry & is awesome

The harp of new Albion is wonderful - a double album of retuned piano - a much more considered/mature album - the padova concert is a good live album of some of the material - No where near as immediate as some but I really love these more as I get older

The 10 voices is raga like & good although the synth sounds a littele cheesy & decending Moonshine dervs is like a more static greyer shri camel - still good with it's own strange atmosphere

'foresight' - In the right mood I enjoy this - not typical terry fare

'Atlantis nath' (i have signed!) - a good mix of stuff jazzy piano, beautiful raga vocals - odd stuff

Lazy/day/crocdiles is on my list to buy

after that come scored pieces for other instrumental ensembles, some good some not as successful (avoid anything with george brooks), but my favorite of the recent stuff is still the keyboard works: atlantis nath and moscow conservatory.

a friend of mine is going through his library of live tapes from the 70's -- more dervishes-era archival releases ahead.

I also really like Poppy (just fell asleep to it the other night) and Rainbow In Curved Air. Some real peak experience analog keyboard stuff there.

I was not impressed by Music For The Gift, but hey, it's early work.

I have never heard Shri Camel cause the one time I tried to buy it I got the lame record store cliche of "oh, that's not for sale"...

it's not for smoothed out stare-at-sun listening like Riley's later trance stuff but as a slice of history it's a straight-up revelation

http://image.blingee.com/images11/content/output/2007/6/16/206048448_d3666224.gif

what else (by terry or anyone else) is like "you're no good"?

should pay $10 to see a performance of in c tomorrow?

xp: Music for the Gift finds Riley cutting/looping Chet Baker, but it's Jazz, not R&B. Maybe the closest thing would be some far-out Ron Hardy edit??? Or Reich's Come Out?

As good a place as any to mention that Wounded Bird are putting out Church of Anthrax on CD soon.

adam: for pop music turned into trancey minimalism, you want to check out Carl Stone. especially his new album 'Al Noor': http://www.sequenza21.com/cdreviews/?p=242 -- the track 'L'Os à Moelle' is a 24 minute beast based on a short garagey 60's loop that sounds like the Byrds, and then he isolates the jangley guitars and uses them to modulate korean folk & classical chord sequences, it is kind of amazing

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5142iyMpLjL._SS500_.jpg

if you've already listened to Shri Camel so many times you've worn it out, this is a good performance. it is live, not 16-channel multitrack layered, but it's the same yamaha microtonal organ sound and the packaging is beautiful

Agreed, the packaging on the Elision Fields stuff is simple but lovely. I just got the above mentioned 'The Last Camel In Paris' at the weekend and enjoyed it on its inaugural spin.

seconding the stone al-noor recommendation. it's such a fun album. i also like that stone won't say even who the obvious samples are, like aqua, saying "just listen and figure it out." that psych sample used in 'L'Os à Moelle' is on the tip of my tongue but i can't quite figure it out. that's part of what's so brilliant about it, just as it starts to get familiar it pushes in a different direction.

what else (by terry or anyone else) is like "you're no good"?

-- admrl, Thursday, 8 May 2008 11:11 (12 hours ago) Link

i'm glad for this revive - tracked "you're nogood" down after reading phil's invisible jukebox w/carl craig in the new wire, & have been listening obsessively.

the bonus disc on "you're no good" is killer too. i like it better than all night flight and maybe even reed streams.

Thanks, guys!

I hope Elision Fields will put out the Terry Riley/Don Cherry material. That's what I want to see from the archives.

oh man, "last camel in paris" is awesome. i don't actually have any other versions of shri camel, mind you, but the playing is insane. it's like harpsichord speed metal right in yr BRRRAAIN.

and track 10, the weird modulating low tones it starts off with are just insane.

http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2007/01/yamaha-yc45d.html -- modified for microtonal intervals

if you like 'last camel in paris' then don't wait too long to pick up 'shri camel'. 'last camel' being a live album, you can concentrate on the virtuosity, but just imagine him multitracking those arpeggios into so many layers that you stop keeping track and just surrender

LIVE AT KOLN WITH DON CHERRY BOOTLEG

i love music

do go on.

so pretty

http://kicktokill.blogspot.com/2008/10/bruce-connorterry-riley-looking-for.html

I played "In C" by Terry Riley, and I liked it...

He doesn't get anything like the credit he deserves

I love "In C," but it's all I've heard. I suppose Curved Air, Koln & In Night Flight are where I should look next?

"He doesn't get anything like the credit he deserves"

On the contrary, he gets just the right amount. Minimalism is very much accepted, "In C" as in the 'canon' as contemporary classical music is likely to get but by not engaging too much with classical institutions (unlike Reich or Glass) to create, say, operatic works, he has maintained a degree of credibility.

Which of the dozen "In C"'s?

Huge PLUS with Amazon: there are a few "In C"'s you can buy for 99 cents each..an entire 40+ minute file.

I was listening to Poppy No Good this morning and my sister made snide remarks.

When I picked this up, I'd assumed T.Riley was some sort of electronic forebear, due to what had been said about him. (Also, a jocular remark by Andy Partridge on one of those SFX tapes many years ago)...

When it started, I thought of Metal Machine Music, and wondered if that Zeitkracker version was anything like this.

Then I got into it (man), and had a relaxing morning.

Funny how side one ends, like the bloke doing the mastering just stopped the tape with his finger, and started the mastering of side 2 by releasing the tape himself.

He was an electronic forebear. A minimalist pioneer. A sampling pioneer. Many other things as well.

In C is to me one of his least intersting works. Poppy Nogood / All Night Flight is da bomb tho

In C feels more like an exercise than something worth listening to.

Rainbow in Curved Air, Happy Endings, Shri Camel=awesome.

don't listen to the In C haters, it's wonderful. The '68 one is the least "out" really but it's probably the best place to start.

thanks.

I haven't found any TR that I didn't want to listen to though. I don't even mind his singing (10 voices of the 2 prophets).

Music From The Gift has been bossing my room lately, all those tape manipulations are my new favourite thing, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them before. "Come Out" is close to my heart, but these are completely different. Going to borrow some James Tenney stuff see what thats like.

I think by now I've come back to the Harp of New Albion more than any other TR recording. There's just so much there to listen to, and it's all so beautiful.

descending moonshine dervishes <3

He's doing a European tour this autumn with Talvin Singh. Sounds intriguing, I'll be checking this out.

Good news, the lifem looks good in general, too

he is playing with john zorn in SF soon (during zorn's week-long residency at yoshi's)

wwowowowowow

Terry Riley played at my school's graduation a couple of years ago

terry was wonderful tonight being interviewed for resonance fm @ cafe oto. the place was packed out which was nice. can't wait to see him play on wednesday.

also heard a version of la monte's sunday morning blues without angus maclise and well, i need it.

um... Y$1... anyone?

i just got symphony in curved air on vinyl...wooooow this is gorgeous music

apreggio mania.

TR and Bruce Conner = fucking DREAM TEAM

eeyowch, pretty rad 1983 concert up on wolfgang's vault here: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/terry-riley/concerts/great-american-music-hall-april-23-1983.html?utm_source=NL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=110211
On this 1983 performance of "Song from the Old County" at the Great American Music Hall, Riley shows the influence of the Hindustani singer and teacher Prandit Pran Nath, whom he first studied with in India in 1970, and collaborated with through the '70s. Incorporating Hindustani vocals and the sitar and tabla work of Krishna Bhatt into the mix, Riley affects a mesmerizing, meditative vibe with this marathon minimalist work. Bassist Brian Crittenden, also a disciple of Prandit Pran Nath, and saxophonist George Brooks, a leading American voice in Indo-jazz fusion (currently with his quartet Summit and with the Raga Bop Trio), add to the mind-altering proceedings here.

Essentially divided into two parts, "Song of the Old Country" is a monumental work that dates back to 1978. Riley handles the keyboards while also singing the cryptic lyrics on the trance-like first raga, which develops gradually and remains in a zen-like state over the course of 43 minutes. Part II begins in more kinetic, uptempo fashion with Riley creating interlocking, pulsating patterns on his arsenal of keyboards and delays. Bhatt follows suit by delving into some exhilarating passages on sitar, as Brooks soars over the top on soprano sax and Crittenden bows his bass underneath. This feeling of runaway train intensity comes to a sudden climax after seven minutes.

Got Les Yeux Fermes & Lifespan and they are both awesome.

kind of becoming convinced that EVERYTHING this guy has done is worth hearing.

this is awesome. thanks!

yeah, it really is nice -- i'm not too familiar with that period in riley's career.

That live thing has me really close to actually paying for music on the internet. Too bad I'm broke!

Got Les Yeux Fermes & Lifespan and they are both awesome.

So awesome! The soundtrack to bedtime for me for many months.

Have I told everyone that I've seen him perform TWICE live, both times in the back of a small piano store in NYC? First time was a performance for just-intonation tuned piano on a bill with Michael Harrison, who's store is where this was at. Second time was a tribute to Prandit Pran Nath which was all vocals from Riley and Harrison. I stood in front of Philip Glass on line and La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela were also there.

Their were maybe 50 people at each of these concerts. I don't remember how I was lucky enough to find out about these or how I got in!

Really? BK?

i saw that pic on the "unlikely celebrities together" thread and had to look up who Terry Riley was.
"A Rainbow in Curved Air" is blowing me away right now (esp the second half).

i feel like if i listen to it loud enough i might levitate.

He's one of a kind!

he's the best. hope terry and big boi got crazy high together before going to BK.

still looking for a recording of sunday morning blues without drums, does anyone have an mp3 or whatever knocking about?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN-MRK0K4A8

A Rainbow in Curved Air + Poppy Nogood = the unimpeachable shit. I just hit up the Rene Hell thread because I realized his stuff taps into this vein in a really deep way. The sub-bass in Poppy Nogood will rattle speakers.

add 'Persian Surgery Dervishes' and 'Shri Camel' and that's about right.

mentioned above, but harp of new albion can't be recommended enough. endlessly beautiful.

I'm all over it... The title is really mellifluous. And I'm a huge sucker for alternately tuned piano pieces.

No love for Lisbon Concert? I am kind of obsessed with it right now.

What other music is like Lisbon Concert?

http://www.amazon.com/Terry-Riley-Moscow-Conservatory-Concert/dp/B0006SWRCA
http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=2470 (room recording, tracks 1-3-4-7)

^^ those two the closest to Lisbon, i.e. solo piano in equal temperament

though nothing compares to the solo piano albums in just intonation -- The Harp Of New Albion is my favorite Riley

Thanks - any solo piano of this stripe recs would be great, don't have to be Rley

I love Lisbon Concert SO MUCH

yay

New one 'Aleph' is a 114 minute late night solo on the Korg Triton from 2008 in an alt tuning devised by Lou Harrison. He's been using the Triton for over a decade now because of the tuning control. The alt-tuning records are my favorite Riley by far, but I have occasionally been a little wary of the CDs he puts out with the Triton because some of the sample presets he uses are a little cheesy no matter what temperament they're in. 'Aleph' stays on one strings & muted-horn patch while he just spins out playing his patterns and it gets to work fairly instantaneously

about halfway through I almost started thinking it was too much but then I ended up playing disc 2 about four times in a row

Finally got that Wolfgang's Vault concert (the dadrockinest place to buy music), it's really good. Needs to be put on vinyl.

got "salome dances for peace".
the idea of the kronos quartet doin a bleedin string quartet, you or i might have reservations about, it not being DIY echo machine malarky n what have you.
but verily, tis GRAND!
the stamina ! the variety ! just intonation !
and where eyvind kang gets a good % of his "inspiration" from.

It's a Terry Riley Friday.

(For me.)

Finally hearing as much of Music for the Gift as Spotify will let me. Some of this sounds like it could have come out tomorrow.

I thought I had checked it out a bit actually, but I'm not remembering any of it, so I guess not.

Last weekend I drove out to Imperial County to go see Salvation Mountain. Two and a half hour drive. I saw a fox run across Highway 111. This is one of the albums I listened to on the way there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHv7M0o_OL8

really like unmellow riley. music for the gift & especially bird of paradise are pretty noise. love the mescaline mix too.

mentioned above, but harp of new albion can't be recommended enough. endlessly beautiful.

It's a Terry Riley Friday.

just put a rainbow in curved air on the turntable

Wish I could set up my turntable to play that in reverse once it gets to the end. And back and forth over and over.

Buy a cd player

NO

This happened on Sunday and I missed it because SAM has the worst publicity for any city museum in history.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPSvKpIAuug

shouldn't this thread be called "terry riley In C/D, S/D"?

Jeez, I am amazed you of all ppl missed this; I cannot imagine how much this museum sucks and like tell ppl abt shit that's going on.

This Padova Concert is great. Also, Diamond Fiddle Language.

Alpha version of 'in c' ipad app by Matt Ingalls

http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=OXUn0ZG758Y

Apparently today is the 50th anniversary of the premiere of In C.

nICe

Cool! Listening now to the Ars Nova version. Coincidentally, I bought The Cusp of Magic with Kronos Quartet and Wu Man the other day. It's cool, and was cheap.

http://tpr.org/post/you-can-join-soli-stage

i signed up to play in this ppls concert of "in c", so fuckin stoked!!!!

really good interview -- sheds light on his relationships with daevid allen and edgar froese, among others

http://www.innerviews.org/inner/riley.html

excellent, thanks

love this:

Sometimes a big feedback thing would happen. When that occurred, I would drop the saxophone and start working with the feedback. If something like that happens, the music is trying to tell you something. It’s telling you to work with what’s going on instead of stopping. If you stop, you’re interrupting the messages that are coming into you. You’re blocking information. So, I like the idea that there aren’t mistakes and that things are always happening as they should.

also this:

http://www.innerviews.org/inner/riley/daevidterry.jpg

<3 <3 <3

I've had this idea forever that somebody should do a variation of "In C" called "Is C" which would strip out melody altogether and deal only in timbre and rhythm. Arrange it so that, for instance, you assign every C in the score to piano, every C# to flute, every D to plucked violin, etc.--each specific note is played solely on one instrument with its own unique timbre. Then, instead of having the flutes actually play a C# or the violin play a D, they all play C's. You still follow the rhythms of each module of the score, and I imagine it would turn into some kind of whirlwind hocketing texture.

Basically, I just want to know what this would sound like--would the constant rhythmically alternating C's of different timbre be musically interesting or just mush. You'd have to remove the improvisational aspect of the score; even so, it would probably be nearly impossible to actually play it. You could put it together with some kind of software, a bunch of sampled C's, talent, time, focus and drive; sadly, I have none of those things.

I'm hearing a MIDI version of that in my head now. Thanks a lot.

Missed a performance of Rainbow in Curved Air last week because I thought I didn't need to pre-book. I was wrong. So gutted.

Everyone loves Terry, don't they? I mean, why wouldn't you?

He seems like a pretty cool guy. I didn't know he was involved with Daevid Allen way back in the early 60s; great interview.

I knew about the Daevid Allen connection because Allen always credits Terry Riley with turning him onto tape loops and manipulation. Didn't know about Edgar Froese, I thought Peter Michael Hamel was his main Krautrock connection.

skipping my office holiday party on Friday to see this dude

I think your priorities are absolutely in order. Do you know what he's going to be doing? A specific piece, I mean.

I don't. All I know is that he's going to be performing with his son - so I guess Terry piano and Gyan guitar. Also, "bring a pillow" :)

https://bkragamassive.bandcamp.com/album/terry-riley-in-c-2

awesome

Terry Riley himself, after listening to an early performance recording, suggested they “use the basic In C form but open it up to solos...based on some of the patterns.”

unbelievably great mid-70s Riley soundtrack for Bruce Conner's Crossroads (never released aside from a bootleg cassette a few years back): https://we.tl/wDk6EwXhUq

Phew, thought we had another RIP on our hands there. I'll be downloading this later, no worries on that score.

thanks man!

Thanks. Good to have another work from this particular phase/sound.

Saving me from listening to more 2017 music I'm probably not going to like.

this is fantastic, thanks tyler! and OTM _Rudipherous_

good work tyler, thanx.

thx for the RIP... to mp3

?

Phew, thought we had another RIP on our hands there.

terry riley will never die; he will just vibrate into eternity

Wow, thanks, tyler! Just downloaded.

i was just talking about that film and score on one of the Twin Peaks The Return threads, after episode 8 showed. Crossroads was playing on a loop at an exhibit I went to last year and I found it exhilarating. Found a Riley studio album that was similar but am super psyched to get the actual score.

oh haha, am0n — gotcha. i was half asleep last friday.
you can watch an excerpt from crossroads over here: https://www.vogue.com/article/bruce-conner-restored-crossroads-film

The Crossroads I'm familiar with involved a guitar shred duel between Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai. I'm assuming this is a different one but perhaps I should try soundtracking those images with this recording.

hey london sorts, this should be a decent performance of 'in c' next month (tickets = £5)

Sweet.

Not to forget the man himself:

i've been listening to les yeux fermes and lifespan a lot, they are wonderful

ok good, not dead yet, phew

alive and kicking...it with Geeta who just posted a picture of the two of them to instagram or facebook or somewhere.

I like Lifespan a lot

Haven't done any comparative listening yet, but enjoying most of this performance (maybe some treading water at times, but they don't get stuck):

i think my favorite riley piece of the ones i've been listening to a lot this summer is this performance of poppy nogood and the phantom band at suny buffalo in 1968. it is tense and haunting

https://assets.boomkat.com/spree/products/232000/large/original.jpg

oh and i just saw this now https://www.nts.live/shows/in-focus/episodes/in-focus-terry-riley

us tour with kronos quartet in spring 2020? saw a date posted locally, can't find the tour listed anywhere though. kronos quartet is fairly hit or miss with me but riley was amazing when i saw him at big ears

ooooooh! that is good news

Listening to "Happy Ending" and right at the death this jazzy piano part kicks in and it is so out of character and awesome

love that bit

i did a short mix with that track on it https://theporouscity.com/entries/2175

sweet!

okay i guess calling a 20 minute terry riley piece a "track" is a bit lol

Fucking ... fuck.

Enjoyed the Maya Beiser cello-led version of In C that turned up in the NPR 2024 EOY list; hadn't realised it turned sixty this year! This NPR piece links to Acid Mothers Temple & Adrian Utley's versions, among others, but not Bitchin Bajas:

https://soundcloud.com/sweetblahg/bitchin-bajas-in-c-872016-constellation

man every time this thread gets bumped I am anxious

much love to the rich cosmos that is TR

wow at the picture in that article! Have definitely never seen him looking so square

how much would you tip Terry Riley if he was playing in a saloon you happened to visit (keep in mind it's 1961)

At 89, Riley still composes every day, with a view of Mount Fuji from his home in Japan.
People who have figured out how to live

So true.
