Artist Info: Desaccordes

DESACCORDES is a French ensemble, which bassist and composer Eric Baron formed five years ago with the intent to perform non-typical music (hence the name, Disaccords). This rendering of Terry Riley's "In C" is their second album, following "Cordeyades" from two years ago. Legend has it that Riley composed this 49-minute composition in one sitting on one piece of paper in 1964. This is experimental music from 4 decades ago, which is said to have influenced people ranging from composer Philip Glass to The Who & Tangerine Dream. [read more...]
