Here’s another interesting piece using samples and loops. It’s only about 2 minutes long so it’s much shorter than the Riley piece. Kind of shows what has and hasn’t changed in the last 40 years. (!!) (Riley made “You’re Nogood” in 1967—see this link for background info.)

Terry Riley - “You’re Nogood”
(If you don’t like drone,1 wait two minutes. It changes.)
You’re missing out. ↩
Seriously missing out.
I’ve never really been in to Terry Riley that much until this piece which I absolutely love! Brandon-this one’s for you. This is infinitely more interesting than Steve Reich’s “Come Out” or “It’s Gonna Rain” but probably came after those since I think Reich’s pieces were the first tape loop pieces. (Someone let me know if I’m wrong, I don’t have the time to look it up right now.) Looped Motown—what’s not to love?
