John Luther Adams: Bad Decisions and Finding Home
b'John Luther Adams\\xa0made all of the wrong career decisions.\\xa0He got kicked out of multiple high schools, went to the "wrong" college, never finished his master\'s degree, and ultimately moved as close as he could to the edge of society, to a cabin, in Alaska.\\nSomehow, though, all of these unconventional moves crystallized his creative voice into something singular, instantly recognizable, and emotionally mature. Adams\'s music is fast and slow at the same time, unraveling in fractal patterns that mimic great vast landscapes as well as tiny variations in the snow.\\n---\\nAbout the podcast:\\nMeet the Composer is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that takes listeners into the minds and creative processes of the composers making some of the most innovative, compelling, and breathtakingly beautiful music today.\\nFollow Meet the Composer\\xa0on Twitter:\\xa0@MeettheComposerLike Meet the Composer\\xa0on Facebook:\\xa0www.facebook.com/meetthecomposer\\n---\\nQ2 Music is WQXR, New York\'s multi-platform home for dynamic modern\\xa0music.
