Episode #2865
Terry Riley's Autodreamographical Tales
Friday, November 07, 2008
Terry Riley, founder of minimalism, creator of the landmark work "In C," and student of classical Indian vocal master Pandit Pran Nath, joins us for this New Sounds to present new work he's done with the Bang on a Can All-Stars. We'll hear selections from Riley's "Music from Autodreamographical Tales," where he was asked to write down his dreams and set them to music. Listen to vivid dreams about zucchini, hazy long bus rides, saints making appearances over Italian lakes ("The Miracle"), and songs about cannabis - featuring Indian raga-inflected vocalizing. Plus, there'll be sampling from other new recordings from Terry Riley, and more.
