How many recordings of “In C” do you own?

[further]

Ok for a few minutes only. In fact it’s bloody awful, even for a few minutes

Just your opinion

 

[Kestevan]

Not just his... Mine too

 

[Ming the Merciless]

None. Zilch. I could throw a biscuit tin of cutlery down the stairs and achieve the same musical result for free.

Throw it down a mountain and you get the rock version.

Are you talking about Terry Riley?

I haven't listened to his work for a long time, but preferred A Rainbow in Curved Air!

Apparently this was used on the Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy radio series as background music.

This was played almost on repeat on the wireless whilst we were in France a few years ago (Lilly Wood and the Prick, Prayer in C)...

For the next 20 days you can watch Tones, Drones and Arpeggios on iPlayer. (It's a 2-part series about minimalism.)

I have just watched the first programme and have the second one on now.
