On the summer solstice 2011, Inuksuit was performed by 99 percussionists in Morningside Park as part of the Make Music New York festival.



Writing in The New Yorker, Alex Ross called a previous performance of Inuksuit "one of the most rapturous experiences" of his listening life.



"The Music of a True Place" - a short film and an extended conversation with JLA is now available on NewMusicBox.



JLA is featured in three recent films, The Reach of Resonance, The Sound the Sun Makes, and Strange and Sacred Noise, which follows an outdoor performance of JLA's epic percussion work in the place that inspired its creation.



Coming this winter is The Farthest Place: The Music of John Luther Adams, the first book of critical essays about JLA's work.


JLA is currently at work on a new piece for the Seattle Symphony and writing a new book - Not Down in Any Map: An Atlas of Memory.
