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.
“Utley’s impressive Guitar Orchestra is augmented by percussion
and organs making for a vintage and mesmeric sound occasion. The effect is an
organic musical experience very much created in front of the audience both
fragile and thunderingly uplifting…”
This is from the Wire Article about the piece
“…Utley's version is slower than the original, more austere, and
texturally it's very different due to the reduced palette of instruments,
recorded in just five mics. "I wanted ours to be more linear, with all the
same instruments," he says, audibly excited…”
In C by Adrian Utley's Guitar Orchestra is
released on Geoff Barrow's Invada Records on 30 September.
