Terry Riley's In C Mali

Terry Riley's In C Mali

On 4th November 2014, exactly 50 years to the day from the world premiere* of in C, the composer said: -"I am overwhelmed and delighted by this CD. I was not quite prepared for such an incredible journey, hearing the soul of Africa in joyous flight over those 53 patterns of in C. This ensemble feeds the piece with ancient threads of musical wisdom and humanity indicating to me that this work is a vessel ready to receive and be shaped by the spontaneous feelings and colours of the magician/musician. I could not ask for a greater gift for this daughters 50th birthday." It was 50 years ago this month when Terry Riley's iconic minimalist composition "In C" received it's world premiere. To mark the anniversary, Africa Express-the organization that brings together musicians from multiple cultures, continents, and genres-will release an album featuring their 41-minute version of the piece. In addition to several artists from Bamako, Mali, the album features contributions from Africa Express mainstays Damon Albarn, Brian Eno, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner.
