Four Four Three: music of Terry Riley

Composer
Released

This collaboration between the Ragazze (string) quartet, Dutch percussion ensemble Slagwerk den Haag, and horn/guitar/percussion trio Kapok is a tribute to the work of first-generation minimalist composer Terry Riley. The musicians tackle his classic early piece In C as well as the later Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector, a piece heavily influenced by Riley’s travels in India and his collaborations with the Kronos Quartet. The pieces are quite different from each other and these musicians play both works with vigor and commitment.
