Terry Riley: Live at 85 @ Koerner Hall, Friday

 Here's a Terry Riley interview followed by a 1977 performance of Shri Camel and another with his son, guitarist Gyan Riley.
Intricate and often improvisational with elements of minimalism, jazz, ragtime, and north Indian raga. Terry Riley was influenced by John Cage and John Coltrane. His works, such as In C and A Rainbow in Curved Air, have influenced virtually every contemporary classical and many rock composers since, including Peter Townshend, Lou Reed, and Radiohead. The first part of the program features Terry Riley (piano/synthesizer & vocals) accompanied by Tracy Silverman on electric violin, followed by Terry and his son, Gyan Riley, on electric guitar. For tickets and more information about the 21C Music Festival check the Royal Conservatory of Music site.
