I get into an almost trance-like state when performing it, not too unlike the shamanistic 'spirit journey' which inspired the piece" (Glenn Kotche). "From the first note, it requires total concentration and all of my physical stamina.
Though we were underground, 'Ilimaq' seemed to seep into the New York City streets" (Baeble Music). The one-man percussion was sonically heightened by the digital delays that blasted through the speakers. "48 minutes of an almost violent but passionate performance. "A true electro-acoustic recording that channels the energy, passion, and precision of Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, 'Ilimaq', which translates from the native Inupiaq language as 'spirit journeys', maps a phantasmagorical progression through liquid cascades of percussion, otherworldly ambient soundscapes, harmonic dissonance, melodic convergence, and almost everything that's musically and sonically possible in between" (Publisher's blurb). The distillation of Adams' definition of percussion: "The tone within the noise". A definitive performance by Glenn Kotche. Produced in a small and limited print run as a Slipcased Compact Disc-Cum-DVD. One of John Luther Adams' finest achievements. Debut Recording of the composer's landmark work.
