Адамс Джон Лютер

(23.01.1953)

Биография

В юности увлекался рок-музыкой, через Фрэнка Заппу открыл Эдгара Вареза, затем — Джона Кейджа, а еще позднее — Мортона Фелдмана. Закончил Калифорнийскую художественную школу. В 1975, работая в обществах по охране окружающей среды, приехал на Аляску, ставшую для него затем постоянным источником творчества.

Характеристика творчества

Пережив и усвоив опыт минимализма, сосредоточившись на проблеме статического в музыке, Д. Л. А. развивает медитативный музыкальный язык, связанный с музыкальным воплощением места, «звуковой географией» необжитых пространств, близких к территориям воображения и потому наполненных высоким смыслом, близким к сакральному.
