Adrian Utley’s Guitar Orchestra play Terry Riley’s ‘In C’

 “I’ve been exploring the sonic possibilities of massed guitars for a while now in various contexts, from pure noise to the sacred choral music of Arvo Part. So it was interesting to see what would happen if we had 20 electric guitars plus organs playing ‘In C’. It is an amazing piece of writing and original thought. A new free idea of organised group playing. The beginnings of what we know as minimalism."
