Noise as a substance containing the entire range of sound frequencies and timbres is at the core of the music composed by American composer John Luther Adams. It is this approach that makes Adams a direct successor of composers John Cage and Morton Feldman. Living in Alaska, Adams draws inspiration from the sounds of the surrounding world and its natural elements. Strange and Sacred Noise is an enchanting sound survey played by a quartet of percussionists and based on the alternation of contrasting noise structures.

Music Beyond the Walls
Concert program, as part of the Garage educational platform
June - September 2012
This program will follow the history of music throughout the 20th and 21st centuries ending with the anniversary of composer John Cage’s birth on 5 September. Simultaneously, the program will follow the spatial experiments of composers who chose to work outside of the set conditions of concert halls and model the environments of their music pieces independently, acting as both composer and architect. All music pieces are performed outdoors.
