Melismantra
With Zakir Hussain, tabla
Tracy Silverman, violin
Scott Amendola, drums
“Son of composer Terry Riley, Gyan’s new release
beautifully showcases his love of raga, jazz fusion and classic flamenco
with simply phenomenal guitar playing. World class accompanists Tracy
Silverman/electric violin, Scott Amendola/drums, and Zakir Hussain on
tabla, catapult Riley’s compositions to a level way beyond his years.”
KVMR Top Picks of 2007
“ . . . his refined guitar patterns and sensitive
melodic hooks have unexpected power and draw the listener in. For the
CD’s 55 minutes duration, I found myself engrossed.”
“Riley demonstrates that he’s an effortless
distiller of prevailing influences.”

Food for the Bearded
Debut solo CD of original works,
plus premiere recording of Piedad by Terry Riley,
New Albion Label.
. No matter how you present it, Food for the Bearded is one
beautiful, heartwarming album. Gyan Riley comes through as a sensible
instrumentalist and a composer as unclassifiable as his father, Terry Riley.
Elements of Spanish classical, contemporary, French jazz, and Indian
classical music all become part of [his] style. Gyan Riley emphasizes
musicality over novelty without sacrificing creativity in the process.

~ François Couture, All Music Guide
“A
