My husband and I went to a Chronos Quartet concert last week (July'03) at the Western Washington Arts Festival. The concert was the performance of a piece called Sun Rings, based on sounds of space collected by University of Iowa Prof. Don Gurnett over a 40-year period. The musical portion of Sun Rings was composed by Terry Riley and accompanied by a visual production created by visual designer Willie Williams.
Sun Rings was commissioned by NASA and co-commissioned by Hancher Auditorium, the University of Iowa, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Rockefeller Foundation, and other music-presenting organizations.
Here's what someone else had to say about it:
"It is the music of the spheres and then some—an incomparable love letter to the stars and the planets, including our own."
Mark Swed, LA Times
and I came home passionate to connect with this universe.
