Terry Riley, born June 24, 1935
American composer associated with the
minimalist school of Western classical music.
| “ | Riley's place in the minimalism camp of modern classical music has been secured ever since his '60s debut. His career eventually found its zenith with such milestones as 1964's In C and 1969's A Rainbow in Curved Air. Riley's use of cyclical and repetitive patterns brought comparisons to fellow minimalist Steve Reich during this time, too. Having since delved deeply into Indian music by way of several years of study with the master singer Pandit Pran Nath, Riley found a fine middle ground for his classical/minimalist training and the music of India on this 1980 release. With a specialized Yamaha keyboard and a 16-track studio as his tools, Riley creates four instrumental longplayers here, all sporting a mix of Far-Eastern atmospherics and minimalist explorations. Echoing the mystical strains of the '60s counterculture in which he came of age, Terry Riley says of his work for electronic organ, Shri Camel, that "much of this I was amazed at myself, and can only accept as gifts." Indeed, the cover of the 1980 CBS recording features a stylized Hindu deity sitting cross-legged in the middle of an air-brushed mandala, and instead of holding Krishna's flute, Riley's divine muse plays a double-register keyboard. Indian references and influences permeate this piece, which would lead Riley's associate Hugh Brown to pronounce that "never before has there been such a seamless fusion of Eastern mood, melody, and serenity with the classic orchestrations and modern technologies of the West." In this regard, Shri Camel owes much to the influence of La Monte Young, who served as something of a musical and spiritual mentor to Riley and also brought Pran Nath to live in the United States. Likewise, one of Shri Camel's most important and engaging aspects is its use of just intonation, a mathematically precise tuning that affords purer intervals and a wider variety of acoustical colors; the work thus exhibits a special relationship with Young's monumental just intonation masterpiece, The Well-Tuned Piano. Nonetheless, Riley's use of a wide variety of electronic timbres and his employment of sustained sounds in highlighting special features of his tuning give this work a highly distinct profile. ~ Allmusic | ” |
