Hello, Terry Riley: James Holden, Koreless, Luke Abbott

  • ‘Terry's music exists in my mind as an endlessly folding pattern. Listening to his music gives me a reassuring sense of stasis, as if being held by the sound. But there is also a great sense of adventure in his music, it puts you in the moment and energises you.’ - Luke Abbott Electronic artists and composers James Holden, Luke Abbott and Koreless celebrate the work and influence of minimalist composer Terry Riley. Riley pioneered the use of technology in minimalist music and is widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in contemporary classical music. Using new technologies, including specially built chaotic sequencers, synthesisers and percussion, these three musicians, at the forefront of the modern electronic music scene, pay homage to Riley with brand new collaborative compositions influenced by his work. ‘My performance will be a very slow tour of some landmarks in a fractal, with tabla player Camilo Tirado as co-pilot: a slow tilt of the head to inspect the arpeggio from a slightly different perspective, with thanks offered up to the man who gave musicians after him permission to move so slowly.’ – James Holden “My piece Cycles I is based around independent regular pulses played by multiple string players. It is an exploration into continuous timing systems following simple mathematical principles. The results are precise, dense and complex rhythmic cycles that can be repeated indefinitely.' - Koreless
