terry riley c/d, s/d

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

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

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"?

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.

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

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.

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.
