Ever wondered what goes through a composer’s head while they’re making music? Join us this weekend for a little glimpse.

This Saturday on Second Inversion, we step inside the musical mind of Terry Riley, with his radio opera Autodreamographical Tales. Conceived as a musical dream diary, Terry Riley shares his creative musings, stories, and confessions, reading and singing aloud from his journals alongside cheeky performances by the Bang on a Can All-Stars.

It’s a strange and wonderful ride through the creative mind of one of today’s most singular and psychedelic composers.

To listen, tune in to Classical KING on Saturday, July 26 at 9pm PT.
