Having brightened up the early days of The Quarantine with a fantastic music video of a (highly) abridged version of John Luther Adams's typically expansive nature-drunk Ten Thousand Birds (you can see my living room and dining room windows in the video if you look hard!), Alarm Will Sound takes the full piece out into nature — well, close to it — on Governor's Island.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Plenty to eat and drink on the Island. (My bougie self finds Island Oyster particularly intoxicating.)
