It's one thing to master a genre, quite another to pioneer one. Terry Riley has succeeded at both. His long and winding career began as he explored what would become known as the Western classical school of minimalism, alongside contemporaries such as Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnick and Steve Reich in ’60s California.

Terry Riley discussed the genius of John Coltrane, his solo all-night concerts with the Phantom Band and the process of plunderphonics in this public lecture as part of Red Bull Music Festival Paris 2018.

The early influence of jazz greats such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis, as well as the work of his friend and peer La Monte Young, fueled his desire for experimentalism, resulting in unique pieces such as “In C,” a modular musical construction considered by many to be the first minimalist composition. His years spent crisscrossing the globe also fed directly into his work, and would eventually lead to him meeting Pandit Pran Nath, the Indian classical teacher who would go on to have a profound impact on Riley’s life and music. His seminal album A Rainbow In Curved Air, released in 1969, captured the freewheeling bliss of the late ’60s and would go on to inspire the likes of the Who’s Pete Townshend and Mike Oldfield, even appearing in the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto IV.
