Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

[ssully]

tl;dr -- the 'to me' at the end of any opinion, is silent and must be assumed, by rational people.

Terry Riley, composer.
Mix about the farthest possible from "front centric."

Not sure if you're comment is in response to my post? If so, I most certainly didn't indicate this album was fc. None of the Riley atmos albums I listened to were.

I knew you were referring to Kronos Quartet non-Riley content.

I was not sure, since you didn't specify, if the Rainbow in Curved Air I linked in Apple Music was the same artist and mix you heard on Tidal, as I was not nearly as impressed with Shri Camel in Atmos. Apples and oranges.

Hope you get a chance to hear the IN C Irish Atmos mix at some point.

I think those are exclusive to Tidal (so far). Enjoy--and let us know how they are!

Nope, they’re also on Apple Music

Would love links if you have 'em. I had no luck with Apple Music's search engine.

I should add that I’m in the UK. Both of these records are in Atmos for me.

I’ll be listening to this a lot for awhile. Came out a couple years ago.

Terry Riley's "In C," performed for the first time 60 years ago tomorrow. It was first recorded four years later by Columbia, and you can find a bajillion different versions of it today--but the two below are the only ones (re-)mixed for Atmos, AFAIK. (Riley is still composing today, age 89, with a view of Mt. Fuji to inspire him.)

It seems that early on, Riley was envisioning "In C" as sort of a "surround" work. Robert Carl's book about the piece includes a reminiscence by Riley's friend Stuart Dempster that "Terry had suggested people could wander around and change the sound by wherever they stood in the room." For the 1967 performance at Carnegie Recital Hall, according to a New York Times review, "loudspeakers were not only positioned about the auditorium but in the halls . . . the audience was urged by Lukas Foss, who oversaw the concert, to walk around and savor the sounds from various places in and out of the hall. Most of the listeners did so, and a few kept right on walking" (!).

Here's some of what Carl reports about the Columbia recording sessions, which took place a couple months later in a decommissioned church (no longer standing) on E. 30th Street in New York:

Another version in atmos? And other minimalists. I have a soft spot for swirly marimbas (1st track Reich's Nagoya Marimbas)
