How is this one?

It's an electroacoustic piece with percussion and drum kit. No melodic instrument like vibraphone or marimba is used. The powerful rhythm in the electronic soundscape sounds primitive and earthy, but it's preciously played. I liked the energetic sound. If you enjoyed Inuksuit, I think you would like it.

Thank you for all the replies. I appreciate it.

According to the liner notes, this is the first CD of the complete acoustic music for solo piano by John Luther Adams. Among Red Mountains was recorded on a Cold Blue album, but I don't know if the others have been recorded before. The works of Adams are grand, and the other composers' works are very good too. A powerfull, uplifting and beautiful album.

Lots of seemingly interesting compositions from Adams the last couple of years, including "Ten Thousand Birds." I wonder when we'll have a new recording.

A friend of mine was at this premiere. Looks interesting.

Works for Bass commissioned by an artist who has, apparently, recently passed away. It's quite beautiful.

I can't read the cover very well.  Ah, I think that I figured it out.  When are the recordings from?  I'll try and see what I can listen to of it.
