Title
The maverick composer reflects on the relationship between his unconventional music and the rugged landscapes he calls home...
American composer John Luther Adams doesn't recommend following the path he took in music. Yet he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I never studied with the right people at the right schools," he told me in April 2014, a few hours after he learned he had won the Pulitzer Prize for his orchestral piece Become Ocean. "It seems that every time I had the opportunity to make the right career choice, I made the wrong career choice, which in the long run turned out to be the right artistic choice."
