In June of 2018, IE devised a special live arrangement of Terry Riley's Keyboard Study No. 2 for a performance at the Cedar Cultural Center with composer Lawrence English. Riley's Study is a modular, open-form work of minimalism from the 1960s that stemmed from the composer's own work as a performer on electric organ. From the original theme of four endlessly twirling notes repeated hundreds of times on the piano, IE develops Riley's composition into an exhausting, cathartic marathon, flowing upward in spiritual ascent.
