What is spa music anyway?In the past, spa music was understood as an entertaining supplement to thespa treatments - how can spa music become a central element of the cure?Could music ultimately even become the heart of the spa treatment?By asking questions and searching for the healing effects of music and the idea of a holistic spa stay, we finally turned our attention to Terry Riley, the inventor of minimal music and a living legend when it comes to a holistic understanding of music. The new composition was written by Terry Riley and his son Gyan Riley in Japan and in exchange with Jonas Ehrler, artistic director of Neue Kurkapelle Baden, as part of the Bäderkultur residency program between 2023 and 2024.Terrence "Terry" Mitchell Riley (* June 24, 1935 in Colfax, California) is an American composer and pianist. With his "micropolyphonic" structures adapted from Asian and African trance music, he contributed to the "invention" of minimal music and is one of its most popular representatives.Official website: http://www.terryriley.net/Gyan Riley (born 1977) is an American guitarist and composer.
