Program Note by Samuel Adams
Night Sea (for Agnes) is a gentle, 3-minute piece I wrote for ZOFO. The accompanying image, also entitled 'Night Sea', was beautifully created by my sister Emily Adams.
'Night Sea' is dedicated to Agnes Adams and gently nods to her namesake, Agnes Martin.

"In Samuel Adams’s Night Sea (for Agnes), written to an almost-monotone painting by Agnes Martin, objects laying on the strings created an almost electronic humming in a beautifully sustained work that reflected the calm of the painting."
