Description

In C is a musical piece by the composer and musician Terry Riley. A masterpiece of the genre, it constitutes one of the first minimalist compositions, a response to the modern music that dominated the musical scene in 1968. It inspired many famous composers, such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich. In C is composed of repetitive cells and varied rhythms, freely inspired by the North African musical structures he had heard and appreciated. The composition consists of 53 short musical phrases. What makes In C so enduring is that once stripped of all concept, it becomes a deeply hypnotic work. For fans of minimalism, it is an unrestrained, impressive, and energetic work.
