Wer auf instrumental-poetischen Ambient a la OPION SOMNIUM oder RACHEL’S steht, sollte mal bei JOHN LUTHER ADAMS hereinhören:
Stehende Piano- und Vibraphonklangwellen, deren Harmonien sich stetig verändern, dazu Violine & Bass, alles im äusserst melancholischen / harmonischen Bereich....
"These three works exist amid an undeniable aesthetic spirit of the times -- the embracing of pre-compositional principles and structural processes in the service of a highly personal artistic statement. However, John Luther Adams' recent work tends to transcend his compositional devices -- it is simply potent, compelling music that is timeless in its sublimity. This is quietly expressive music in which process never intrudes on the music's 'sounding,' but churns away in the background, while the foreground shimmers with a simple yet great joy in the very making of sounds. It is a music that may be readily appreciated on both intellectual and sensual levels." 3 works from 1998-01, performed on bass clarinet, vibraphone, marimba, piano, electric keyboard, violin, doublebass.” [label info]
