Join us for a rare and original performance with the renowned and widely influential composer Terry Riley, known as the father of minimalism for his groundbreaking 1964 work In C. Together with his son, composer and guitarist Gyan Riley, they will perform in response to Untitled (Shepard-Risset Glissando with Color) a new artwork by New York conceptual artist Peter Coffin.
The Getty's auditorium will be transformed by Coffin through an immersive projection of radiant fields of color that shift through the spectrum in tandem with the Shepard-Risset Glissando, an auditory illusion of oscillating sound waves.
Performing in conversation with these visual and auditory phenomena, Terry Riley and Gyan Riley will draw upon their practice of collaborative improvisations, emphasizing the synthesis of minimalism, jazz, ragtime and North Indian raga that have come to define Terry Riley's iconic career.
This program complements the exhibitions The Art of Alchemy and The Alchemy of Color in Medieval Manuscripts, which explore the scientific and seemingly magical energies surrounding the experience of color in centuries past.
