"Which songs or music have had an impact on you?" is the question behind the theme for Jukebox Friday Night on 10 October 2025.

Well, some of the highlights include a 45-minute piece that really opened my brain to minimalist music.

Bang On A Can, "In C" (2001)

Composed by Terry Riley in 1964, and recorded for a live broadcast on November 20, 1998, at the World Financial Center, New York.

"Flat out great ecstatic playing puts this one right up there among the very top." ~ Terry Riley

So, Alternate Friday Music is about "Simple", and they don't come more simple than me :)

"As a solo performer this was a work that I couldn’t sensibly perform... until I built a full stack of software that allowed me to perform with, and control, multiple virtual performers in a live rendition."

Alternate Friday Music is keeping things "Simple" for its theme this week.

While "simple" might be in a lyric, or in a band name, my take is that "simple" = "minimalist".

I am partial to Terry Riley's music, and Kronos Quartet treat his music well. More Minimalism, then.
