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

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.

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.

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)

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

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
