“ [Asking Terry Riley] “You’ve been called a ‘visionary’ composer before, so how do you imagine the music of the future?” My question was greeted by a ripple of what I took at the time to be somewhat derisory laughter, both from the stage and from the audience. “You’re trying to put me on the spot!” chuckled Riley uncomfortably. I pictured him secretly signalling to the security guards. “All I can say is,” he finally replied, “that I just hope there is a future”.” – Robert Barry
