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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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" :)

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.
