[Jonnern]

Omg, its Terry Riley in concert.

[neolojism]

giving me goosebumps!

[HHFOV]

man that's gay i was expecting a mosh pit

like terry riley stands up on top of the piano and is all like "yeeeaaah fuck each other up!!"

[DannyDaWriter]

Just intonation?

[cordedpoodle]

Yeah it's just.

[kdemco]

IN-credible. Gosh I miss the DIA.

[cyburied]

But his concert at Mexico City was 120% full, really, I saw dozens of people trying to get a ticket on the eleventh hour

[iiiiiiiillllllll]

beautiful

I asked T.R. to do this concert back in the winter of 94 or 95. He said he would play a new piece which he had never recorded or played before. It's an improvisational piece with conceived movements. The intervals which were used in this concert included a couple high# ratio just intervals which were more dissonant than the ones used on the similar sounding,Harp of the New Albion. I recall there being some low notes on the right hand... Very unorthodox even for a microtonalist.

[PauloNideck]

This piano tuning sound so spooky to me, i'm not familiar with it yet. Very interesting but my ears are complaining. My god it sounds out of tune but still is great.

[cordedpoodle]

Actually you could say it's in tune, and what you are used to is out of tune. There are several different ways to justly tune, Terry has his own version. Nice guy.

[PauloNideck]

You're right!

Thank you for the nice comment!

[Lokakuunmaa]

I love it.

[josephscott80]

WHAT IS THIS PIECE CALLED?!

Please, if anyone knows, tell me.

:-D

[fumes6]

It sounds like stuff off of "The Harp of Albion." Might not actually be it, might just be improvisation, but if you love this then definitely check out Harp.

[zeppelin8]

this sng is beautiful.. what's it called?

[rascalrascal]

this is great

[Lebarondesamedi]

I think nylonius is right. I got that album too...

[SensoryOssuary]

Beautiful, beautiful... why doesn't the DIA have good music more often??

[TIMESTEREO]

Sadly the concert was only about 20% full...

[63M1N1]

it's strange to be 'high' on a concert with people around. his perfect music is enough by itself.

[lkbl]

beautiful

why is embedding disabled though?

[herma57]

what's the tuning on the piano, anyone know, just intonation, or what???

[nylonius]

Yes, that's right, it's his own 12-tone just tuning where C# is 1/1:

1/1, 16/15, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 64/45, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 16/9, 15/8.

At least that's the tuning of "The Harp of New Albion" which I believe is heard here.
