The Riley Project is a 20 year collaboration between Steven Schick and Ross Karre. The goal is to creat an audio visual document that spans a twenty year interpretation of Tery Riley's In C. Each year, for one day, Schick and Karre will participate in a audio-visual recording session. The goal of each session will be to capture portions of In C for post-production assembly into an interpretation of In C. The documentation will not only explore the piece and its changing manifestations over 20 years, it will also reveal intricacies of age, media, and the theory and practice of percussion and music. An extra feature of this documentation will be a yearly conversation between Schick and Karre on a variety of relevant topics. This video, from Dec. 14th, 2009, is a series of excerpts from the first of 20 conversations. Each year, the videos will be added to the Roots and Rhizomes blog, an extension of the Roots and Rhizomes percussion conference discussions which took place in 2007 and 2009. R&R will continue in 2011 at the Banff Centre in Alberta, CAN.
