ABOUT THIS EVENT
INSUKSUIT (2009) is a work composed for between 9 and 99 percussionists dispersed in an outdoor area (although the piece has also been performed indoors). The New York Times described it as "the supreme ambient piece," and in the New Yorker Alex Ross hailed it as "one of the most exhilarating listening experiences of my life."
The title refers to humanoid-shaped megaliths used by the Inuit and other native peoples to orient themselves in Arctic spaces. Adams structured the rhythmic layers in the score to imitate these stone constructions, while maintaining an open form that allows great freedom of interpretation.
