	Terry Riley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terry Riley (born 24 June 1935) is an American composer associated with the minimalist school.
		Riley made numerous trips to India over the course of their association to study and to accompany him on tabla, tambura, and voice.
		Riley has referred to Young as "the freakiest guy I have ever met in my life," stating that it was Young's ideas that were at the heart of minimalism, though more composers have come to name Riley himself as an influence.

	Terry Riley - a short biography of the father of minimalism in music
		Riley was born in Colfax, California in 1935, and studied music at San Francisco State University and at the University of California at Berkeley.
		In Paris, Riley collaborated with American playwright Ken Dewey on several projects, until the assassination in 1963 of US President John F. Kennedy forced him to return to the USA - the nightclubs of the air force bases closed for a period in tribute, and Riley was out of work.

	Concert Reviews \| Terry Riley 70th Birthday Celebration
		To celebrate the 70th birthday of California-born minimalist composer Terry Riley, the UCLA Live series put together a program even stranger than Riley's landmark "In C" must have sounded with its droning, mantra-like repetition back in 1964.
		Riley (whose actual birthday was in June) followed onto the Royce Hall stage the San Francisco electronic-music duo Matmos, whose "For Terry Riley" audio/visual piece at times brought "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" to mind (which was a good thing), and classical pianists Sarah Cahill and Joseph Kubera.
		Riley conjured a kindly, shamanistic-Santa Claus presence on stage, wearing a skull cap and wire-rim glasses with his long white beard flowing down over his loose shirt and vest.

	[hybrid] artist bio - Terry Riley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Minimalist pioneer Terry Riley was among the most revolutionary composers of the postwar era; famed for his introduction of repetition into Western music motifs, he also masterminded early experiments in tape loops and delay systems which left an indelible mark on the experimental music produced in his wake.
		Riley was born June 24, 1935 in Colfax, California, and began performing professionally as a solo pianist during the 1950s; by the middle of the decade he was studying composition in San Francisco and Berkeley, where among his classmates was fellow minimalist innovator La Monte Young.
		In 1970, Riley made the first of many trips to India to study under vocal master Pandit Pran Nath, with whom he frequently performed in the years to come; another collaborator was John Cale, a pairing which resulted in the 1971 LP Church of Anthrax, arguably Riley's most widely-known recording outside of experimental music circles.

		Terry Riley says, "It's the first good piano I've ever gotten." That's an amazing statement coming from one of the world's foremost keyboard improvisers, equally at home in ragtime, jazz, rock, Indian, classical, and minimalist idioms.
		Riley credits Young (who's four months younger) with leading him into a modal, nondevelopmental idiom, and it was only through mishap--literally a change in the wind--that Riley's emergence in the American record industry preceded Young's by 18 years.
		Riley's concerts, part of the fourth annual Bang on a Can Festival, will be performed May 11 at eight and 10 at RAPP Arts Center, 220 East 4th Street.
