Uilleann Bucket list- Riley's "In C"...check!

DONE! Terry Riley’s “In C” this weekend,…almost an ITM event! Low & Hi D whistles, Irish flute, Uilleann pipes, Fiddle, along with 6 ‘straight’ instruments. Just a private thing between musicians, no audience, entirely for our own amusement. :smiley: Its tons of fun, Has anyone else had the pleasure of playing uilleann on this quintessential 1964 seminal quasi minimal trip-out improv??

…speak English, you fool! :confused:

I too was flummoxed, so I tried Googling “In C”. I do believe ChasR means this:

Found the original recording, Part 1…

And for semi-aleatoric contrast here is a recorded version by Acid Mothers Temple.

Any chance of posting a recording?

OH By Jove! I say! Jolly good & all that rot, wot? Blimey mate wots a poor blighter to do? :smiley:

Got it in one Nano…should the opprotunity to participate come along for any chiffers, I highly reccomend it! I didnt think pipes would work, (and indeed there s some parts that are quite a challenge) but there were places in the piece where uilleann goes perfectly.
& No Oloerez., we didnt record it. it came into being & vanished, like a puff of steam coming off the hood of an 89 pontiac on a winters night. I wouldnt lie about minimalism. :heart:

just incase anyone wants to give it a go:

Well done ChasR! I had the distinct pleasure of playing ‘In C’ on a ‘C’ set (of course) with Terry Riley, Kronos Quartet, and about 60 others a couple of years ago at Carnegie Hall. What a great time and fascinating experience. Glad you enjoyed your foray!
