At Play in the Fields of the Mind: 1968 – 1986

“Colfax, California, 1935. Who in that NoCal hamlet would’ve guessed that a major influence on modern music had just been christened? Unlike religious icons, angels don’t appear when artists leave the womb and commence their slog through the muck of the world, but that’s where Terry Riley nonetheless saw his advent, soon trafficking along a childhood not terribly dissimilar to that of most other young males in America.”
