Made this video that explains some of the theories behind John Adam's piano piece China Gates. Thought some of you would enjoy.

I played this piece last year for the first time, I like the idea of constant pattern (rh) vs small change in the Lh, it makes the piece rather tricky to coordinate but an awesome challenge. It's bach like in a way that the evenness of tone produces layers of polyphony, very relaxing because of this imo. I liked your  vid easy to follow.
