"...The music seemed to enact vast and complex natural processes, as if I were witnessing, in sonic form, the solar system forming or the continents shifting. It had an incredible visceral impact..." – Jonathan Russell, San Francisco Classical Voice
"...you really can't help but fall into its entrancing rhythms... carrying the ear through sonic white water as swiftly as it floats over a subsequent movements scored for four air-raid sirens... Adams uses these timbres to speak with a degree of nuance and subtlety that pushes buttons noise acts never quite reach." – Molly Sheridan NewMusicBox
"In some ways, this music exists beyond judgment, which I think is very much Adams's intention. One simply has to accept the different sounds as they appear and disappear. They are evocative and mysterious, but also plainspoken; there's no mystical obfuscation here. And there are many memorable passages: the waves of rising and falling inharmonic partials (or noise-bands) from the four tam-tams; the web of intersecting accelerandos and ritards in the 10-drum "velocities crossing in phase-space"; the delicate rumble of four marimbas in "clusters on a quadrilateral grid 1" and "clusters on a quadrilateral grid 4," punctuated by inscrutable silences; the jangly dance of crotales and glockenspiel in "clusters on a quadrilateral grid... " – Robert Carl, Fanfare
" All of the music is pared down to the essentials, and nothing in Adams' 73-minute composition is extraneous. Different movements are characterized by the combination of instruments involved - snares, tam tams, tom-toms and bass drums, mallet percussion, and bells. ... Strange and Sacred Noise returns us to the very flashpoint of American percussion music for a fresh perspective... " – David Lewis, All Music Guide
"...a powerful and important work, an immersion into an overwhelming world of sound, a participation through performance in the sounds of violence in nature." – CDeMUSIC |
