- Album booklet
- The Sands, from 1991, was commissioned by the Salzburg Festival and written for the Kronos Quarter and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie. "A kind of metaphor for what the people of a small Middle Eastern country might be feeling when under a savage air attack from the world's mightiest military." Wise Music Classical
- "A clever, carnival-esque movement, it was composed as a kind of soundtrack for Riley's reminiscences of his early years in Europe, during which time he made a living playing piano for cabarets and circus acts." Jeremy Grimshaw/AllMusic
- Played as part of a 2013 California Masterworks concert, along with Cowell, Rudhyar, Harrison, Tenney, and (John Coolidge) Adams. Cleveland Museum of Art
