In het kwartetwerk van John Luther Adams ontbeekt de in het strijkkwartet zo gebruikelijke dialoog tussen de vier instrumenten. Zijn tweede strijkkwartet, ‘untouched' uit 2015, is exact wat de titel aangeeft, namelijk een werk waarin de musici het zwart van de toets (waarover de snaren gespannen zijn) niet aanraken. Zij spelen louter losse snaren of […]

Het strijkkwartet Everything that rises van John Luther Adams is een ‘chip' van een eerder nog omvangrijker werk, Sila: The Breath of the World voor koor en orkest. De titel van het kwartet verwijst naar de veel voorkomende stijgende beweging van zijn materiaal. Over het kwartet merkte hij daarbij op: “In dit nieuwe werk heb […]

Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2F12 3 Lent (Year C) 11:00 a.m. Eucharist Sunday 23 March 2025   Exodus 3:1-15 Psalm 63:1-8 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Luke 13:1-9   The time has come to change your life. Alex Ross writes about a sound and light installation by the composer John Luther Adams (1953-) at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. It is called The Place Where You Go to Listen. The title refers to Naalagiagvik, a beach on the Arctic Ocean, where a particular Inupiaq woman could hear and understand the voices of whales, birds, other creatures and even the whole planet around her.   “O God… my soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast” (Ps. 63).

The serene spaces of contemplative minimalism have attracted some strange bedfellows over the years, including classical, new music, and experimental composers, serious jazz artists, ambient-electronic sound sculptors, and native musicians from the far north. They share a taste for consonance, repetition, slow tempos, electro-acoustic instrumentation, and expanded ambience. In these vast, frigid spaces, time seems to slow and even stop. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, timeless soundscapes inspired by the Arctic North, on a program called "FROZEN TIME." Music is by CHRISTEL VERAART, JEFF GREINKE, TIGRAN HAMASYAN, JOHN LUTHER ADAMS, MICHAEL JON FINK, SOMEI SATOH, and OLAFUR ARNALDS.

The landscape of contemporary classical music is rich with diverse voices that draw inspiration from a countless myriad of sources. Among these voices are Philip Glass and John Luther Adams, two composers who have made profound contributions to the genre of art music over the last decades.

Was David optimistic when he slain Goliath? The story says everyone was afraid. What role does optimism play in stories of triumph and in our lives. In uncertain times our theologian James Luther Adams calls for ‘Ultimate Optimism.' Let's look at that more closely.

Have you ever wondered why Unitarian Universalists seem so focused on justice and equity. Some of the theological foundations of our faith are about mutuality between one another and the agency we believe all persons should have.

Given the weather recently, JJ and Haz ponder the different ways rain has been treated in music, including Chopin's disturbing dream, Britten's cheerful storm, Debussy's summer tempest, and John Luther Adams' electronic showers. Bambi gets a look-in too, as do two heart-rending versions of 'Over The Rainbow'.

Yayoi Kusama: You, Me & The Balloons is the inaugural show in Aviva Studios, the new headquarters for the Manchester International Festival. In a variety of ways Kusama's distinctive polka dots fill the new Warehouse space. Economics the Blockbuster – It's Not Business As Usual at The Whitworth is a very different kind of visual art show which asks artists to re-imagine that most topical of subjects, the economy. Art critic Laura Robertson and novelist Okechukwu Nzelu review. In his illustrious career Benji Reid has moved from the world of breakdancing, to contemporary dance, to physical theatre, to hiphop theatre. After pursuing his interest in photography, he has now created a new art form which he calls Choreo-Photolism. He talks to Nick about the importance of curiosity both for artists and the arts. Grammy award winning composer John Luther Adams and the composer Ailís Ní Ríain have been commissioned to create brand new work inspired by the environment as part of the Manchester International Festival. The premiere is Friday, we'll hear all about it on tonight's programme. Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu

As the Royal Northern College of Music celebrates its 50th anniversary, Tom Service talks to current students at the college and former alumni - including the pianist Alexandra Dariescu and conductor Alpesh Chauhan. He meets the RNCM's Principal, Linda Merrick, as well as the college's archivist, Geoff Thomason, to learn more about the college's past, the role it currently plays in the city's musical life, and its aspirations for the future. Formed of present and former students of the college, Tom catches-up with three members of an all-female genre-defying string quartet, Vulva Voce, to hear how their approach to repertoire and performance is winning over audiences. With Manchester's leading classical ensembles descending on Bridgewater Hall for a weekend-long festival celebrating the city's rich musical heritage, Tom Service meets the Director of the BBC Philharmonic, Beth Wells; Chief Executive of the Hallé Orchestra, David Butcher; Creative Director of the Manchester Camerata, Samantha McShane; and Artistic Director & Chief Executive of the Manchester Collective, Adam Szabo. And, Music Matters hears from the composer John Luther Adams, whose new work 'Prophecies of Stone' is set to premiere next month at the Manchester International Festival. We chat too to the biennial festival's Director of Music, Jane Beese, about the ambitions for Manchester's new cultural venue - Aviva Studios.

The Ojai Music Festival's Artistic Director Ara Guzelimian was well situated to lead the festival through the tumult of the past three years. He's certainly looking forward to the June 8-11 festival this year and a return to something more closely resembling normal and worrying more about the music and less about the logistics of managing this premier festival of modern contemporary music through a global pandemic. He will be helped this year by returning guest Rhiannon Giddens (ep. 70), as Music Director. Giddens, a generational talent whose broad interests are well-suited to Ojai's spirit of musical adventure and exploration, was so charmed by Ojai in 2020 (the festival was held in September that covid-19 year) that she was eager to return. Ara didn't have to ask her twice to partner with him on programming. Among the audience offerings this year will be a chamber and voice ensemble performing Giddens' "Omar's Journey," from her opera about the Islamic scholar who was sold into bondage in the 19th century and continued his scholarly pursuits despite the horrors of slavery. Of course, there will also be the wide range of pieces performed which characterize the festival, from Bach to John Adams to ancient Chinese music to folk ballads to rapper DJ Flying Lotus. Guzelimian was formerly the artistic director in the 1990s, and recently retired as Dean of The Julliard School, perhaps the most prestigious music school in the country. He has conducted the popular "chalk talks" before the performances for decades. We talked about his journey to Ojai, his brilliant career and Ojai's mystical nature. We also talked about John Luther Adams, Harry Partsch and why Ojai remains so important to global culture. We did not talk about FDR's campaign against Alf Landon, Neopolitan pizza culture or sportfishing for Nile perch on Lake Tanganyika.

Ben Luke talks to John Akomfrah about his influences—including writers, musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work.Akomfrah was born in Accra, Ghana, in 1957 but has been based in London since he was a child. From his early years with the Black Audio Film Collective to his recent works as a solo artist, he has explored major issues—including racial injustice, colonialist legacies, diasporic identities, migration and climate change—through a distinctive approach to memory and history. First shown on television and in the cinema, his films are increasingly made for museums and galleries, in the form of ambitious, often epic, multi-screen video installations. He is one of the great film-makers of the last few decades. He discusses discovering Jackson Pollock through Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz album, his early experiences of the Tate Gallery and ongoing love of J.M.W. Turner's paintings, his passion for John Milton's Paradise Lost and Virginia Woolf's The Waves, and his enduring engagement with music from post-punk to John Luther Adams. He also gives us insight into his studio life and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate one: what is art for?John Akomfrah: Purple, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C., 28 October–summer 2023; The Unfinished Conversation, Tate Britain, London, until the end of 2022. A new work will be shown at the Sharjah Biennial, 7 February-11 June 2023, and The Box, Plymouth, UK, from December 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Part 2 of our exploration of climate emotions through music: Thomas's playlist “Shifting Basslines of the Cornucopians” — its title inspired by the Snapped Ankles number, and having a double meaning: Shifting bass lines in the music that inspires us and “Shifting Baselines” in how each generation perceives the natural world. As Thomas notes: “My themes are water and fire, being a hostage to Capitalism and Climate Change, finding refuge, transformation, and our all-togetherness during these challenging times. As Courtney John sings “Yes we are sailing in a different boat. But we are sailing in the same ocean.” In my mix, I am inspired by a variety of sources, the old time music of the Carter Family, the cathartic punk of The Thermals, the immersive ‘Become…' series of Alaskan composer John Luther Adams, and the tribal techno of ‘Land Back.' We are nostalgic (and solastalgic) about the beautiful ‘Flatlands' in ‘The World We Knew' while the ‘Sword of Damocles' hangs over our heads. In this ‘Cruel Summer' with ‘No Snow on the Mountain' we hope that ‘Somewhere' there is a place for us.”

  *In English Language*  »Die Spieler scheinen telepathische Kräfte entwickelt zu haben«, staunt die New York Times über das Zusammenspiel der vier Musiker von Sō Percussion. 1999 als Studentenensemble gegründet, hat das Quartett während seines gut 20-jährigen Bestehens die Kammermusik für Schlagwerk neu definiert. Es tritt in den größten Konzerthäusern weltweit auf und hat viele spannende Kooperationen gestartet, die von klassischer Musik über Pop, Indie-Rock bis zu zeitgenössischem Tanz und Theater reichen. Bei seinem ersten Hamburg-Besuch im Mai 2022 wirkte So Percussion bei der Aufführung von John Luther Adams' großem Open-Air-Stück »Inuksuit« im Park Planten un Blomen mit und präsentierte im Kleinen Saal der Elbphilharmonie ein kammermusikalisches Programm. Hierbei spielten die vier (teils mit neuen Instrumenten und ausgefallenen Spieltechniken) Musik von Angelica Negron und dem The-National-Gitarristen Bryce Dessner. Und sie stellten das Album »Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part« vor, das sie mit der gefeierten Komponistin und Sängerin Caroline Shaw herausgebracht haben.

John Luther Adams's Silences So Deep: Music, Solitude, Alaska (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020) is a profound, funny, and enlightening memoir from one of our greatest contemporary composers. Adams describes the process of writing music inspired by the wild landscapes of the far north, pieces with titles like Arctic Dreams, In the White Silence, and Become Ocean. But as much as Silences So Deep is a meditation on craft, it is also a masterpiece of nature writing, reminiscent at times of Walden, at other times of Dharma Bums.  Adams moved to Alaska as a young man in search of the solitude of America's last frontier. But Adams also discovered community: a bohemian group of farmers, poets, activists, and musicians, including the poet John Haines and the conductor/composer/activist Gordon Wright.  Silences So Deep is sure to reward long-time fans of Adams' work and listeners of contemporary classical music more broadly. It will also appeal to nature lovers and to anyone interested in the day to day work of a life committed to art. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Luther Adams' on where his environmentalism and his music meet (Part 2)

Environmentalist-turned-composer, John Luther Adams' latest sortie into musical landscape plunges deep into the Grand Canyon (Part 1)

*In English Language* John Luther Adams ist ein außergewöhnlicher Komponist. Über 40 Jahre lebte er im Norden Alaskas, dessen Landschaft seine Musik ganz maßgeblich beeinflusst hat. Einige seiner Werke sind explizit für die Aufführung draußen, unter freiem Himmel geschrieben. Dazu gehört auch sein Werk »Inuksuit«, das im Rahmen des Internationalen Musikfests Hamburg 2022 im Park Planten un Blomen aufgeführt wird. Inspiriert ist es von den gleichnamigen Steingebilden, die die Inuit über viele Jahrhunderte als Wegweiser in den kahlen Ebenen der Arktis errichteten. Im Podcast erzählt er, wie das Stück entstanden ist und und wie sehr ihn die Natur zu seiner eigenen Musik inspiriert. 

February 25 marks the release of the third volume of cellist Inbal Segev's “20 for 2020” commissioning project, comprising world premiere works (in album order) by John Luther Adams, Adolphus Hailstork, Gloria Coates, Agata Zubel, and Christopher Tyler Nickel, with guest artists Ian Rosenbaum on marimba, vocalist Charlotte Mundy, and Nickel playing oboe d'amore, cor anglais and bass oboe on his own composition, Fractures of Solitude, which is also available as an audio single.

The geologist Sanjeev Gupta tells Michael Berkeley about his search for evidence of ancient life in rocks on Mars with the help of NASA's Mars Rovers, and he plays unique recordings of sounds from the surface of Mars. Professor Sanjeev Gupta is a scientist who takes the long view, the very long view, into Deep Time. As the Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow at Imperial College London, he investigates how landscapes have evolved over vast spans of time. His work as a geologist has meant camping out alone for months at a time in some of the world's most remote places. And Sanjeev Gupta is part of a team of hundreds of scientists working on one of humanity's most ambitious expeditions ever - NASA's three billion dollar Perseverance Mars Rover which is helping us to understand what that planet was like an astonishing three-and-a-half billion years ago. The team is searching for evidence of ancient life in rocks on the Red Planet, rocks that will hopefully be returned to earth for analysis in 2031. Music is vital to Sanjeev Gupta's life. He brings Michael Berkeley music by Bach, Messiaen and Handel and by contemporary composers Peteris Vasks, John Luther Adams and Anna Meredith, music which conjures ‘visions of the beyond' – starlight, canyons, oceans and heaven. Sanjeev describes the surreal experience of helping to operate the Perseverance Rover as it landed on Mars in February 2021 from a flat above a hairdresser in Lewisham when restrictions prevented him from travelling to NASA Mission Control in California. And he recalls the transcendent experience of listening to music alone on long field trips in the vast deserts of Utah. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3

For the Stuart Collection at the UC San Diego, Adams created a musical composition with and within the signature landscape of the campus: the eucalyptus grove. There are no pre-recorded elements, everything that occurs in "The Wind Garden" is driven by the wind and the light conditions on the site, in real time. This work never repeats itself. Hidden in the trees are 32 small loudspeakers and 32 accelerometers that measure the movements of the trees in the wind. As the velocity of the wind changes so does the amplitude of the sound. The musical foundation of The Wind Garden is two “choirs” of virtual voices – a “day choir” tuned to the natural harmonic series, and a “night choir” tuned to the sub-harmonic series. The rising and falling of these choirs traces the contours of the sun's movement above, below and around the horizon over the course of the year.

During WWII, Unitarian Universalist theologian and scholar, John Luther Adams traveled to Germany and watched one liberal church after another fold against the tide of fascism. As we continue to explore the gifts of a liberal faith, we ask questions about the nature of a faith that is free, and whether or not there are non-negotiables that we hold in balance with our freedom.

In a quest to understand the Aeolian Harp, an interview with composer John Luther Adams. 

Synopsis On today's date in 1903, violinist and conductor Harry West led the very first performance by the Seattle Symphony. At that time, the orchestra comprised just 24 players. For their first program, the aptly named Maestro “West” conducted Schubert and Rossini, two long-dead classical masters, and also programmed works by three living composers: Max Bruch, Jules Massenet, and Pablo Sarasate. More recently, under music director Gerard Schwarz, the Seattle Symphony earned worldwide attention with its recordings of both classical and contemporary works, including critically acclaimed recordings of symphonic works by modern American masters like Howard Hanson, David Diamond, and Alan Hovhaness, as well as newer pieces by a younger generation of American composers including Richard Danielpour and Stephen Albert.That tradition continued under Gerard Schwarz's successor Ludovic Morlot, who took particular interest in fostering music from Seattle composers, including composers within the orchestra itself. And the Seattle Symphony commissioned and premiered a work by the American composer John Luther Adams entitled “Become Ocean,” which went on to win the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music and the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

A unique kind of human skull has been discovered in China. The team describes the details of this skull, known as the ‘Dragon Man', and explains how it might belong to a new species of human. And if that's not exciting enough, its discovery has the most amazing Indiana Jones style backstory too. In breaking news, Jeff Bezos has announced that legendary aviator Wally Funk, one of the Mercury 13 women who trained as astronauts, will go to space with him on the first crewed Blue Origin mission. The team then discusses the intense heat waves that have been wreaking havoc in the Arctic and across the Pacific northwest. They explore the effects of covid-19 on the brain, as new studies show that a third of people who've been infected have suffered some form of cognitive or psychological disorder. They also share some incredible, experimental music from the composer John Luther Adams, whose new album ‘Arctic Dreams' is inspired by the sounds of the Alaskan wilderness. And they bring bad news from the surface of Venus, as hopes for life on the planet begin to dwindle. On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Tiffany O'Callaghan, Alison George and Chelsea Whyte.

you either BURN baby BURN, or you DROWN baby DROWN : (Eliza, Noah, and Anthony return to the 1970s glory days of the disaster genre, big destructive movies in which an ensemble cast of the era's stars dodge debris, rising waters, and some matching schlocky theme songs by Maureen McGovern.The real life-threatening dilemma is this: which movie actually wins?? We've got a tie for the ages, with the team having mixed feelings on both the sizzling, broader-in-scope star vehicle The Towering Inferno and the splashy religious epic of an upturned boat The Poseidon Adventure. The former has a nice big spread of characters facing a multitude of mini-disasters, plus it's a rare example of a pair of twin films being knitted together. But the latter has Gene Hackman as an angry new age priest in a skivvy, so audience; you gotta help us out!!

It's a pledge drive special edition of Access Utah today. My special guest for the hour is Dean Craig Jessop of USU's Caine College of the Arts. We'll reach into the archives for parts of some of our favorite episodes of the program. We'll hear a segment from our interview with composer John Luther Adams. Then we'll revisit a portion of our conversation with GENTRI, the Gentlemen Trio. And finally, we'll hear from Ann Cannon, author of "I'll Tell You What," tell how her father LaVell Edwards and mother Patty Edwards met.

This week, we are searching through the archives and bringing you the best of Access Utah. Today our theme is Pulitzer Prize winners, and we have Utah Humanities' Cynthia Buckingham with us to revisit our discussions with Annette Gordon-Reed, John Luther Adams, Ken Armstrong, and Pat Bagely.

John Luther Adams is a composer whose life and work are deeply rooted in the natural world. On Monday's Access Utah, Adams joins Tom Williams to talk about political art versus art, listeners' interpretations of his works, and composing music for outdoor performance, among other topics. We'll also hear some of John Luther Adams' music.

As with all mixes this one had a specific starting point or inspiration - the incredible new album from Max Richter - Sleep.  It's 8 hours long!  8 hours!  Here's a link to purchase the full version... http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/us/cat/4795267 I'm a sucker for high concept projects so I was interested from the start.  Add that to the fact that I am a fan of Richter's music and I knew I'd probably love it.  And yup, I do.  It's the perfect combination of Richter's classical style with an ambient sensibility.   I knew I had to make a mix with tracks from the Sleep album.  I decided to keep the whole mix in the classical realm.  A lot of the tunes are new like the Besarin Quartet stuff.  Some cuts I've been waiting to use for awhile now, like the John Luther Adams cut. As much as I like the Max Richter tracks I think my favorite track in the mix is Pie Jesu.  The cut is from The Wine of Silence by Andrew Keeling, David Singleton and Robert Fripp.  The music is based on Fripp's soundscape series, guitar improvisations that use tape loops and echo and reverb.  From there Keeling and Singleton scored the soundscapes for orchestra.  They finally subjected the orchestral recording to further electronic manipulation.  The result is transcendent.  It's a beautiful, beautiful album. The title of the mix comes from a favorite Andrew Bird song, Night Sky, and I thought it fit somehow.  I really like the way each piece dissolves into the next on this mix.  I hope you like it too.
