もう37年以上になるだろうか。NHK-FMで「現代の音楽」という番組があった。当時、FM雑誌で「FMレコパル」という本があって、エアチェック(なつかしい)の情報を得ていたのだが、ある日、「ミニマル・ミュージック」の特集を2週連続で放送するというのだった。1週目が、当の「テリー・ライリー」で、2週目が「スティーブ・ライヒ」だったと思う。カセットテレコを用意して待ち受けた。司会は、「上浪渡」さん。「本日は、繰り返しという・・・」というナレーションからスタートした番組。その時紹介されたのがこの「Descending Moonshine Dervishes」だったのだ。「沈みゆく月の光の導師達」とでも訳すのだろうか。とか 使用しているオルガンは純正調?に調律されているだの、テリー・ライリー自信の言葉で言うならば、自分の音楽は「ミニマル」というよりも「モーダル・ミュージック」だ 等などの紹介と共に、時折、ナレーションをはさみながら、この「バカ長い曲」を全曲紹介するのは、放送時間内では無理として、流されたのだった。録音した「カセット・テープ」をその後、何回も聞いた。頭に曲が浮かぶまで聞いた。今回、AMAZONでこいつが販売されていることを知り、購入したが、その37年前あたりに聞いていたものと違うのだ。記憶しているフレーズが一切出てこない。NHK-FMで流していたのは、私がエアチェックしたあの音源は何だったのか。もしかしたら、別バージョンがあるのだろうか?当のカセット・テープは、どこかにいってしまった。探すしか、この謎を解明する術はないのか。しかし、記憶と違うからといって、この曲が魅力の無いものという訳では一切無い。ゆったりと「たゆとう」といった感じの曲調が延々と続く点では、快感である。

ラ・モンテ・ヤングと共通の友人でありメンターであるPandit Pran Nathの謡いをメインにフューチャーした、テリーのインド趣味炸裂作品(1982年)。70年代の作品のようにヤマハの電子オルガンを弾き倒すのではなく、Prophet 5を2台演奏しているのだが、音色のせいか演奏が意外に軽やかで、オルガン作品時代のような濃厚なサイケデリック感は薄い。
テリーのオルガン演奏の香の煙が炊きつめられたような空気感が好きな僕にとっては、このアルバムはあくまで謡いにメインを譲った少し控えめな演奏である。このため、星は渋めに付けた。それにしても、インド趣味をずっと貫いてる人だが、同じインド趣味でもアルバムによって音の表情に幅がある。飽きさせない人だ。

brief comments:
Masterpieces.
I... would not really label it "minimalist". It's like calling the Saturn V rocket - or today's Falcon 9 "minimalist". All three will place you in correct orbit: but only if the mind heart and commanding soul are open / educated .
Love his singing. the purposes of the sounds are mysterious: just relax.
(this is NOT " walk like a man / talk like a man")
Been looking for Journey from a death of a friend I had off radio years ago on reel. .
. maybe soon we will get Mr Riley's vocal performance at that New Music Festival some years back. he refused broadcast rights at the last minute.
I understand: I am a Hare Krishna, and enjoy the few Bhaharati classical voice albums I got - thanks to Amazon - which include a Pundit Pram Nath' . (with Terry)
Mr Riley is giving us an incredible gift: and some seeds take time to grow.
Repeated listenings will open flowers.
start on a quiet ear. this is Both a XX thCentury Master And a XXIst Century Master.

Voice of three Prophets, one is human.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014Verified Purchase
I had these two releases when they were on Vinyl. Now you can get two re releases on 1 2CD set. Disc one is Descending Moonshine Dervishes.Terry performs on an electric organ modified to be in Just intonation tuning. He maintains rhythmic cycles as he travels his hypnotic path. Disc Two is unique because he plays a Prophet 10 synthesizer, actually 2 of them. The sounds are different than the voicing s for Organs.This disc was recorded live. The Prophet was a new instrument when this was recorded. So Terry is working with textures few classical players were willing to embrace. There seems to be a play on words here. While the instrument is called a prophet, he sings on this recording in a Hindu type tonality. Perhaps he is being a prophet as well. I must admit, Terry's voice is my least favorite of his talents. However, I am willing to bear with his voice just to hear how he plays electronic keyboards.The structure and feel have overshadowed a less than gracious voice. Fans of his other keyboard work will rejoice at these tracks. Just be forwarned, his singing is not for those addicted to melodies.
