Known as the "Father of Minimalism", American legend, Terry Riley, has cemented himself as one of the most important composers of the postwar era. Influenced by jazz and Indian classical music, his music became notable for its innovative use of repetition, tape music techniques, and delay systems. He's best known for his minimalist piece "In C" and the 1969 album "A Rainbow in Curved Air", both considered landmarks of minimalism and important influences on experimental music, rock, and contemporary electronic music.
Commissioned by the Paul Dresher Ensemble, this is Riley's concerto for piano and electro-acoustic band "Banana Humberto 2000", first performed on Feb. 10, 2001 at Stanford University as part of the Lively Arts Festival. The piece ranges inspiration from a variety of places: classical, old-time blues, South American music, trippy jazz-inspired music with polymetric patterns and changing meters, etc.

![Andrew Rindfleisch — The Lunatic (2015) [w/ score]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7zZPWwjl8eQ/mqdefault.jpg "Andrew Rindfleisch — The Lunatic (2015) [w/ score]
Andrew Rindfleisch writes in the program notes:
Composed in 2015 for clarinetist Pat OKeefe, The Lunatic, for solo bass clarinet, was inspired by the then current American social/political conservative movement and its seemingly strange and rapid descent into the bigoted, enraged, anti-intellectual hysteria of extremist ideology. The works conception came from two questions I kept asking myself: What if one of these lunatics could play bass clarinet? What would it sound like? The Lunatic attempts to answer those questions. Although the piece was mostly inspired by a certain someone who eventually became president, in the end, the piece does not represent a single person or identity, but rather reflects a more general sense of the hysterical right-wing communicator found in any age, time, or place.
