#3033: Gyan Riley's Guitar

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

Gyan Riley, composer, guitarist, and son of new music legend Terry Riley, visits the studio for a live performance, and to present a work inspired by Bach, and commissioned by the New York Guitar Festival. Also, there's recently recorded trio music from Gyan, including experiments with improvisation, and roots in chamber music. Plus, the Irish-African titled, yet also Indian- and Spanish-sounding stand-alone little ditty of a new work for guitar, "Irican."
