John Luther Adams
What's the soundtrack for the end of the world? We go looking for an answer.
When Jad started to compose music for our live show Apocalyptical , he immediately thought of John Luther Adams. Adams' symphony “Become Ocean ,” rooted in the sounds of nature, is elemental, tectonic, and unstoppable. It seemed a natural fit for our consideration of the (spoiler alert) extinction of the dinosaurs.
In this piece, Jad introduces Robert to a special on Adams from a podcast called Meet the Composer . Through interviews and snippets of his music, it captures all the forces at play in Adam's work and reveals the dark majesty of Adams' take on the apocalypse.
