Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 204 pages. Published in 2004. Retrospective collection of essays on music. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents John Luther Adams' "Winter Music: Composing The North". Reflections from Fairbanks, Alaska, where Adams lives and creates a unique musical world grounded in the elemental landscapes and indigenous cultures of the North. "Poetic and inspirational, delves into the environmental and cultural awareness that creates his reflective, almost spiritual, approach to music. The accompanying Audio CD includes two previously unrecorded works. Adams' music explores natural phenomena, from the songs of birds to the complex nature of chaos, fractal geometry, and elemental noise. Explores 'that region between place and culture, between environment and imagination', reflecting a philosophy of deep awareness that makes him one of the most original composers working today" (Publisher's blurb). "He sees art as invigorating, resonant, relevant. And, a welcome surprise, civic" (Barry Lopez). An absolute "must-have" title for John Luther Adams collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the composer/author: "For Susan Berresford, with gratitude and warm wishes, John Luther Adams 11.VI.11". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Susan Vail Berresford, who is named, was the President of the Ford Foundation from 1996-2007, supporting, among other worthy causes, Adams and his music. This title is a great book. This is the only such signed, dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Grammy Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2014 for "Become Ocean". One of the greatest composers of our time. A fine copy.

Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. "Autographed Copy" round white sticker pasted in front. Presents John Luther Adams' "The Place Where You Go To Listen: In Search of An Ecology of Music". His eponymous, Nature-inspired, sound-cum-light permanent installation. Accompanied by an Essay by Alex Ross, the brilliant and influential music critic of The New Yorker Magazine. "Did Alaska create the music of John Luther Adams or did the music create his Alaska? For the past thirty years, the vastness of Alaska has swept through the distant reaches of the composer's imagination and every corner of his compositions. Adams proposes an ideal of musical ecology, the philosophical foundation on which his largest, most complex musical works are based. His installation, 'The Place Where You Go To Listen', is a sound-and-light environment that gives voice to the cycles of sunlight and darkness, the phases of the moon, the seismic rhythms of the earth, and the dance of the aurora borealis, 'a place for hearing the unheard music of the world around us'. Includes two seminal Essays, the composer's journal telling the story of the day-to-day emergence of The Place, musical notations, graphs, and illustrations of geo-physical phenomena" (Publisher's blurb). "Only John Luther Adams, one of our most audacious and visionary artists, could compose a piece to be played by the sun and the cycling moon, by stresses and quakes in the earth's crust and fluctuations in the planet's magnetosphere. Uncanny, metamorphic, ethereal, telluric, Adams' music compels our participation, often using the most up-to-date technology to draw the human body into a deeper rapport with the elemental forces of Nature" (David Abram). An absolute "must-have" title for John Luther Adams collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by John Luther Adams. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The book was issued as a softcover original only. There is NO Hardcover Edition. A rare signed copy thus.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 2 pages. Published in 2015. Debut Recording of the composer's landmark work. One of John Luther Adams' finest achievements. The first and only edition. Produced in a small and limited print run as a Slipcased Compact Disc-Cum-DVD. There is no ISBN. The CD/DVD is now scarce. Presents John Luther Adams' "Ilimaq". A definitive performance by Glenn Kotche. The distillation of Adams' definition of percussion: "The tone within the noise". "A true electro-acoustic recording that channels the energy, passion, and precision of Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, 'Ilimaq', which translates from the native Inupiaq language as 'spirit journeys', maps a phantasmagorical progression through liquid cascades of percussion, otherworldly ambient soundscapes, harmonic dissonance, melodic convergence, and almost everything that's musically and sonically possible in between" (Publisher's blurb). "48 minutes of an almost violent but passionate performance. The one-man percussion was sonically heightened by the digital delays that blasted through the speakers. Though we were underground, 'Ilimaq' seemed to seep into the New York City streets" (Baeble Music). "From the first note, it requires total concentration and all of my physical stamina. I get into an almost trance-like state when performing it, not too unlike the shamanistic 'spirit journey' which inspired the piece" (Glenn Kotche). An absolute "must-have" title for John Luther Adams and Glenn Kotche collectors. This copy of the Slipcased Compact Disc/DVD is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker in front by John Luther Adams. It is signed directly on the cover itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the CD/DVD available online, is enclosed in its own protective plastic sleeve, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Because of its very limited number, its collectible value will not only keep but increase over time. To say nothing of the fact that John Luther Adams lives in Alaska. As far as we know, this is the very first time he has ever signed a CD. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Grammy Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2014 for "Become Ocean". One of the greatest composers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN LUTHER ADAMS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN B015OPMCA6. Signed by Author.…
