Hehe PeeBee, yup that's a new electronic take on Terry Riley's "In C". I love the variations and how it keeps on keeping on...

;^) i tried to do the chaos theory math several years ago (when i as still good at that stuff) on how many variations, and at what length, "In C" could possibly be presented. Ran out of fingers, toes, noses & even belly buttons very quickly. KERZZIONS! The beauty of it.... Pure genius.

Thanks Ben! I try to check out your show when I can, it's great. Today's tracks caused a visceral reaction. I had to stop listening for a while. Weird eh? Music is so powerful! Have a great weekend!!

Wow Adriana, it was probably "In C" that caused the visceral reaction. It is indeed powerful. That piece cast a spell on me when I first heard it 30 years ago, and its magic endures.
