John Adams - Light Over Water
Sometimes I get very inspired just by vague feelings, sort of like half-remembered dreams from my childhood, or maybe images at the back of my mind that I can’t put into words. Was there some beautiful park I was taken to once, where the sunlight shone a certain way through a line of silver birches, down a long grassy slope towards a glistening white cubist building surrounded by turquoise water, the spring air and smell of cut grass overwhelming me? This is the exact place this album takes me to.
