Biography:
Born in 1947, pianist, vocalist, and post-minimalist composer Jordan De La Sierra (his birth name is Jordan Stenberg) is one of the pioneers of new age music, though his work predated the industry genre.
In 1969, De La Sierra met Terry Riley, who would not only become a teacher but a mentor. Riley brought De La Sierra along when he began his three-year study with Hindustani classical singer (and teacher of the Kirana Gharana tradition) Pandit Pran Nath, who was instrumental in the development of concepts of just intonation in the West that influenced Riley and LaMonte Young. As a direct result of this study, De La Sierra's first long-form work, Music in Bong, was composed. One of its sections, "Seahorse Butterfly Cuckoo Bee Swan Zebra Owl," was performed on San Francisco radio station KPFA in 1972. In 1975, De La Sierra showed up at KPFA during a broadcast of Stephen Hill's Hearts of Space and asked to perform on the program while it was in progress. Familiar with his work, Hill allowed it.
The composer's masterwork, Gymnosphere: Song of the Rose, was recorded in a small studio in San Francisco with Hill as producer. After completing the live five-and-a-half-hour session, the tapes were taken to the city's famed Grace Cathedral, where they were played against the church's giant walls, and a small team of recording engineers captured the naturally reverberating echoes.
