You might be tempted to think that John Adams is being played right and left here, which isn&#8217;t exactly the case but it&#8217;s not unheard of. I&#8217;ve been involved in quite a few Adams fests in the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dharma&#8221; is for solo electric violin and orchestra and is pretty dang cool. I met the gongs earlier today and they are impressive, rented from LA, I think. Or maybe NYC. Somewhere coastal. For the duration of the piece I&#8217;m cocooned in a sort of gong cage along with a pair of resonant flower pots (care of Lowe&#8217;s) and some crotales. A pic would help here. I&#8217;ll try to get one this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>And here we go, a pic as promised. Man, I would love to have some of these. They&#8217;re only 15k a set or thereabouts. The flower pots are not so pricey.<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.rubright.com\/basement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/img_0740.JPG' title='img_0740.JPG'><img src='http:\/\/www.rubright.com\/basement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/img_0740.JPG' alt='img_0740.JPG' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings American contemporary music fans.
