John Luther Adams
Big ups to Greg Davis for turning us onto the work of John Luther Adams via his always entertaining radio show last week (tune in thu. 2-4 EST). Sweet epic times from this dude that calls Alaska home. The music sorta sounds like it…The New Yorker did a pretty informative article on him a few weeks back that’s definitely worth checking out as well.
Among Red Mountains – mp3
The Light That Fills the World – mp3
id love to hear that installation he did in alaska with music & light that responds to weather data.
i think JLA is really settling into his own voice as a composer. i expect even better work from him in the future.
if anyone has For Lou Harrison, please share… thats one of the few of his i dont have.
