One of the great modern musical works, Riley composed this influential piece utilizing tape loop recording in 1967, performing every instrument himself. A pioneer of modern music, Riley's all night performances of his work were ground breaking experimental events and influenced composers such as Philip Glass. A Rainbow in Curved Air brought Riley to a wider Rock audience.
