“An ecstatic, hypnotic piece of minimalism with sacred overtones.”

​

~The Guardian 

 

“a remarkable interpretation of Terry Riley's In C”

​

“mesmerizing and graceful…supremely exhilarating…”

 

“This album is a musical journey for mind and body — both a stimulant and a sedative. It offers many engaging stopovers, from an oasis of calm where the pulse evaporates, to Led Zeppelin-like headbanging reminiscent of “Kashmir”to moments where the cello loops interleave with the sweet delicacy of Vivaldi. If you have a spare hour to let this singular, hypnotic music wash over you, the world might just seem a little brighter.”

"The intrepid cellist Maya Beiser has reimagined the piece ingeniously. The result is transfixing….moody and introspective, but also, by the end, quietly uplifting."

Maya Beiser's latest solo album reimagines Terry Riley’s epic In C as a series of ever-evolving cello loops and drones.

In her multi-cello album,

the C string – the cello’s

lowest, most resonant string –

forms the sonic architecture of the album, creating a rapturous soundscape that re-envisions this classic minimalist masterpiece.
