description
From ‘the man who records faster than his shadow’ a multitracked version of Terry Riley’s toolkit of minimalism, recorded over just two days by Jeroen van Veen on piano and a variety of electronic keyboards. The layers were then edited and superimposed to create the particular, hypnotic quality of the piece’s development. The booklet back of this release usefully reprints the individual elements of In C. It is largely left up to the performer(s) to pull these elements together in a satisfying whole, and so each recording is different. Neither does Riley specify which instruments need be used, but the figurations ideally suit a keyboard. In its way the work is as representative of the age of avant-garde freedom as similarly open scores by Stockhausen, except that Riley works exclusively within the white notes of the piano that make up the C major scale. C major is often perceived as the most pure tonality of the diatonic system, and In C certainly passes across the listener’s consciousness like white clouds in a brilliant blue summer sky.
