terry riley - Reed Streams
Another re-issue from the hugely collectible Organ of Corti Archive Series, this was originally released in 1966 and represents Terry Riley's first album ('In C' which is seen here performed live in Montreal), as well as recordings made on his 'Time Lag Accumulators' (reel-to-reel machines). Riley's organ work never ceases to amaze me, and it is truly incredible how much influence he has had on artists only just rising to prominence. Across the two organ tracks featured on this disc he shows an incredible ability to conjur up mantra-like rhythms from repeating organ phrases which are occasionally manipulated with the reel-to-reel machines, but mostly recorded live. On the sleeve the first piece 'Untitled Organ' is credited as being 'recorded as performed' yet hearing it there is an almost inhuman precision to the work. Like Steve Reich and Philip Glass Riley worked with phrases which would gradually trip and fall over each other, but what I especially love about this particular piece is the rhythmic clatter of the keys, which sounds a little like bones clinking underwater (or at least what I think that would sound like, officer). These small clips combined with the pulsating sound of the organ are utterly hypnotic and totally captivating, you almost don't hear the sound moving yet you're very aware that it is - like watching the sea from an aeroplane window. The second piece 'Dorian Reeds' is again a live recording but incorporates the tape recorders, which gives Riley more space to experiment with the sound, and he layers over noises and reverberations to come up with a piece that could just as easily be devotional music from an undiscovered African country. The disc ends with a thirty minute big band interpretation of 'In C', and this is something really special - a psychedelic and off-kilter interpretation of one of the greatest pieces of minimal music ever created. It works too, making me think how influential this piece was on post rock (this actually sounds like it could be Do Make Say Think or Tortoise.) and so many other strains of academic rock music. So, so good, if you're interested in experimental music then you owe it to yourself to check this out...
