We Say...
Written in two days following an interminably long bus ride, Terry Riley's breakthrough work In C took the tape loops he and his contemporaries had been experimenting with and transposed their repetition to instruments played with fingers and breath. Tape loops had always had a relatively rough, human edge because they were snipped with razors rather than coded as 1s and 0s, and here the human players build from a simple pulse, cycling through 53 melodic motifs that interlock like cogs, producing a shimmer like the gongs of Balinese gamelan. From the head of In Csprings everything from the cycling roundabouts of Steve Reich and Philip Glass to post-rock like Tortoise.
