TERRY RILEY: IN C / G.A.M.E. & ENSEMBLE 0

In C - Terry Riley. Some pieces of music change not only music, but the whole world around it. Le sacre du printemps by Igor Stravinsky did that, for example — and In C by Terry Riley just as much. A rare performance of the cult piece from American minimalism of the 60s is coming to Blender this summer! With a pulsating piano C as a beating heart, a hypnotizing soundscape unfolds, full of sparkling patterns, shifting colors, and irresistible energy. The music moves between clear C major and mysterious shadows, like a crystal slowly turning in the light. In C is minimal music at its most compelling: powerful as rock, free as jazz, and yet rooted in a rich classical tradition. A timeless masterpiece that makes every performance a unique, vibrant experience again.
