Terry Riley
Born:
Terry Riley is an American composer and musician, born June 24, 1935, in Colfax, California. He’s a pioneer of minimalism in music, known for his innovative use of repetition, tape loops, and improvisation. His 1964 composition In C is a landmark minimalist work, featuring short musical fragments repeated by performers at their own pace, creating a shifting, hypnotic texture. Riley also explored electronic music and Indian classical music, studying with Pandit Pran Nath, which influenced works like A Rainbow in Curved Air (1969). He’s collaborated with artists like Kronos Quartet and continues to perform and compose, blending classical, jazz, and global music traditions.
