Not sure Riley's minimalist approach would make for a great live show.24db wrote:Yeah I know, it does sound like an april fools joke...but there it is on page 42epsilon75 wrote:Does that mean this year24db wrote:Did anybody notice this bit in this months issue of the Wire magazine, I know somebody mentioned it over at tadream, but it didn't sink in the first time

like TD, his music covers quite a few different styles of music.

Checkout a Rainbow in Curved Air, this influenced TD's sound, although obviously Terry wasn't using synths and sequencer, just tape edits and organ phrases.Chris Monk wrote:I'm not familiar with Terry Riley's work so I've been checking the internet....... and am still none the wiser. I shall watch what transpires with interest.
I confess that I've only heard minimalist offerings, with an Eastern influence and I'm afraid it wasn't really to my taste.24db wrote:like TD, his music covers quite a few different styles of music.

I've just checked out an excerpt on TR's site. I can see the obvious influence on Philip Glass's work. It's better than the other stuff I'd heard by TR, but I wouldn't part with any of my hard earned!24db wrote:Does that include A rainbow in curved air Mick?Hobo wrote:I confess that I've only heard minimalist offerings, with an Eastern influence and I'm afraid it wasn't really to my taste.24db wrote: like TD, his music covers quite a few different styles of music.

I would prefer TD didn't spring a surprise of this nature at the Astoria. If they want to bring on a guest musician, let it be Johannes, or if they're really in the mood to shock, CF or PB!24db wrote:a lot of the minimalists are something of an aquired taste (and I can't say I like a lot of it myself), sometimes the 'process' or 'theory' behind the music is more interesting than the final result. I would recommend Rileys' A Rainbow in Curved Air, 'if' you like Reich's Music for 18 Musicians or some of Phillip Glass's more sparse tracks. 'If' the TD/Riley concert is more than a rumour then it at least shows that TD aren't dead and are prepared to be experimental even after 40 years.
you've got more chance of god turning up, besides Johannes said no, Chris said where's my lawyer and Peter just said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?Hobo wrote:I would prefer TD didn't spring a surprise of this nature at the Astoria.
