In C

by Terry Riley

In C cover art

A profound paradigm shift in modern classical music, Terry Riley's revolutionary composition consists of 53 short musical phrases played sequentially by a fluid ensemble of musicians. 'In C' is intensely hypnotic and beautifully warm, creating a fiercely repetitive, incredibly rhythmic polyphonic tapestry that defines the foundation of acoustic minimalism.
