Winter music

composing the North

Edición de la obra Winter music

"Composer John Luther Adams makes his home in the boreal forest near Fairbanks, Alaska, where he has created a unique musical world grounded in the elemental landscapes and indigenous cultures of the North. Winter Music, a collection of Adams's poetic and inspirational essays, journal entries, and other writings, delves into the environmental and cultural awareness that creates his contemplative approach to music. The accompanying audio CD includes three previously unrecorded works by Adams. Adams's music explores natural phenomena from the songs of birds, to the complex nature of chaos, fractal geometry, and elemental noise. Similarly, his writings explore "that region between place and culture, between environment and imagination," reflecting a philosophy of deep awareness that makes him one of the most original composers working today. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
