    About Terry Riley

    Terry Riley, born in 1935 in Colfax, California, is a pioneering American composer celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to the minimalist genre. His innovative approach to music, influenced by jazz and Indian classical traditions, has left an indelible mark on experimental and electronic music. Riley's most iconic work, "In C" (1964), is a seminal piece in minimalist composition, characterized by its use of repetition and improvisation. This piece, along with his 1969 album "A Rainbow in Curved Air," has inspired countless musicians across various genres. Throughout his career, Riley has explored diverse techniques, including tape music, delay systems, and just intonation, as heard in works like "Shri Camel" (1980). His performances, often featuring solo all-night concerts with the Phantom Band, showcase his unique ability to create immersive and transformative musical experiences. Riley's influence extends beyond his compositions, as he has collaborated with notable groups like Kronos Quartet and continues to inspire new generations of musicians.
