Adrian Utley from Portishead records Terry Riley's in C



Adrian Utley the Bristol jazz guitar player and member of Trip Hop trail blazers Portishead has recorded a version of Terry Riley's in C with Guitar Orchestra.

In C by Adrian Utley's Guitar Orchestra is released on Geoff Barrow's Invada Records on 30 September.
