Gorgiax, sincere thanks for your video.

The best one about Adams.

Never tired to have a look, you get the real picture of " a short ride in a fast machine", the best I've ever seen before, I'm totally astonished, the ultimate pleasure for my eyes, Neon lights, parkour traceurs and metropolitan scenes get the highest score from my point of view...really appreciate it!

The motto of the Sirius Radio Classics (they read literary classics on this Sirius Radio channel) is "The pictures are in your head" Maybe gorgiax should consider this for "Short Ride".

Great track, and it's the first time I hear it (got the link via LastFM).

In my opinion the video is well suited both to the track's pace and to the youTube environment. Far better than the default orchestra footage, anyway. The sound quality is also great, which counts if you really care about the musical piece...

not a bad idea, however it does need work.

[Melorama2000]

Imaginative setting. Some good hits on the video.  Keep up the experiments!

this video sucks. John Adams would punch you in the face if he saw this. mmmmm the truth hurts, especially coming from him!

I just performed the band arrangement of this piece in my school's wind symphony. It was great!

[xdayum]

despite it being just a little faster then i like it, and the woodblock changing tone every now and then. I thought it was great. I love this piece.

[Cchrisbud813]

Different woodblocks. I suppose that was the conductor's choice.

[SoaringTrumpet]

This video footage only serves to make the music seem trivial and simple. The music by itself is fantastic.

[bagelfanatic]

Agreed.

I love this piece by John Adams...do you have a recording of his "Chairman Dances"? I would love to hear that one. Thanks for posting this...it was interesting.
