#2231: In Between Beatings
New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Listen to the premiere performance of Alaska-based John Luther Adams’ new piece called "The Mathematics of Resonant Bodies," for solo percussion and computer-processed sounds. Written for and performed by percussionist Steven Schick, this 70-minute soundscape was commissioned by WNYC, the LA County Museum, and the South Florida Composers Alliance, through the Meet The Composer's Commissioning Music/USA program. From the recent New Sounds Live event at the World Financial Center, hear the piercing array of cymbals, a booming bass drum, a tam-tam, an air-raid siren and snare drum. Listen for the beats of sound in between the beatings of the percussion instruments...
