Different Noises 110

A recent release of Terry Riley’s recordngs with Columbia dominates a show packed with new releases, current obsessions and favourites from my archives. Terry Riley revolutionized modern music by pioneering minimalism and reshaping how repetition, improvisation, and electronic layering could evoke deep emotional and spiritual resonance. His landmark works like In C and A Rainbow in Curved Air introduced modular structure and tape-loop experimentation, influencing ambient, electronic, and psychedelic genres. Drawing from Indian classical traditions and embracing live improvisation, Riley’s legacy spans collaborations from John Cale to the Kronos Quartet—offering a blueprint for sonic freedom across decades.
