Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble Play Terry Riley's "In C" Remixed at Le Poisson RougeTerry Riley is a legendary composer whose work falls somewhere between the avant-garde and the just perfectly natural. A big presence in California starting in the ’60s, he made early musique-concrete pieces with tape machines (and, as might be reasonably deduced in the case of “Mescalin Mix,” drugs). His most lasting piece is In C, a minimalist masterwork from 1964 that draws a lot of drama out of rigid rules.Le Poisson Rouge 158 Bleecker St, New York, NY
