I tried to run away. I hid for quite a while. I had a rich life; I had incredible experiences, a very slow development of a certain musical world. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But I can’t live there anymore. Because, in a sense, it doesn’t exist anymore. A piece like ‘In the White Silence’ is almost—I didn’t realize this at the time—almost an elegy for a place that has disappeared.-- John Luther Adams, profiled in a Letter from Alaska.

Yes, I've been entranced by that music installation at the Museum of the North. I could have happily spent hours there, just listening.
