RILEY, TERRY - Early Works For Tape And Electronics

"An attendee at an all night Riley concert in Philadelphia in 1967 operated a disco and commissioned him to compose a theme" for the night-club. The result found Riley plundering and appropriating an obscure R&B tune ("Youre No Good" by Harvey Averne) in a mix of Moog, tape-loops, and feed-back system. "Bird of Paradise" (1965) was recorded in San Francisco at Terry Rileys studio and uses the Junior Walker and his All-Stars song "Shotgun" as its source material."
