Dark Waves (2007). John Luther Adams /mesmerizing foreboding/

Steve Hicken on John Luther Adams' Dark Waves:

Dark Waves is an aptly titled piece for two pianos and electronic sounds. The piece moves through time in a series of swelling and receding sounds lurking in the lower registers of the pianos for most of the piece. The feeling is one of mesmerizing foreboding.

Stephen Drury and a former Drury student Yukiko Takagi are the pianists. The album is on eMusic.

The composer:

Amid the turbulent waves we may still find the light, the wisdom and the courage we need to pass through this darkness of our own making.
