Persian Surgery Dervishes
by Terry Riley
Documenting two solo performances on a modified electric organ utilizing a tape delay system, this recording captures a pivotal moment in the development of minimalism. The extended, hypnotic improvisations demonstrate an innovative bridge between Eastern musical traditions and Western avant-garde techniques, establishing a foundational text for later ambient and electronic artists.
