This work is an homage to Terry Riley’s In C. In his composition the musicians were instructed to progress through the music score repeating each section as many times as they individually wished. In CD takes that element of chance into the mechanical realm. Here four CD players progress through CDs with identical content. Each CD player’s “performance” differs however due to scratches in the CDs resulting in randomly repeated sections.
The “score” on each CD is a selection of sine waves in the key of C.
