Bonus Track: John Adams' 'Coast,' Unplugged
Today's bonus track is an exclusive arrangement of a nutso, sci-fi-y electronic piece John Adams wrote in 1993. Originally part of a larger work, Hoodoo Zephyr, Coast\xa0was never intended to be performed live. However, the 20-person chamber ensemble Alarm Will Sound has often been tempted by electronic works. Violinist, composer, and Alarm Will Sound\xa0member Caleb Burhans, who cut his teeth arranging works by Aphex Twin for the group, adapted Adams' work. While Alarm Will Sound\xa0has performed this piece several times, we're proud to bring this you exclusive recording!\xa0\n---\nAbout the podcast:\nMeet the Composer is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that takes listeners into the minds and creative processes of the composers making some of the most innovative, compelling, and breathtakingly beautiful music today.\nFollow Meet the Composer\xa0on Twitter:\xa0@MeettheComposerLike Meet the Composer\xa0on Facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/meetthecomposer\n---\nQ2 Music is WQXR, New York's multi-platform home for dynamic modern\xa0music.
