A Brief Descent into Deep Time is a choral work by American composer, John Luther Adams having its Irish premier at this weekend's New Music Dublin festival. The work sings us downward two billions years through the Grand Canyon, layer by rocky layer.
John Luther Adams ("One of the most original musical thinkers of the new century" according to @newyorkers @AlexRoss) speaks to Culture File from his Chihuahua cabin about sound and landscape, the environment and the orchestra, and music's role in finding a new way of being human. @newmusicdublion @rtelyricfm
