Become Ocean

 

Become Ocean is one of the most overwhelming pieces of new music I've heard in the last few months. I had the pleasure of interviewing its composer John Luther Adams for BBC Music Magazine. You can read what he had to say about his Pulitzer-Prize-winning piece here. And there's also a short clip you can have a listen to. Even 40 seconds gives a bit of a sense of this 42-minute seascape.
