Clouds of Forgetting, Clouds of Unknowing (1991-95) contains four different musical textures. In the White Silence (1998) has three. For Lou Harrison (2002) reduces this to just two. In Dark Waves (2007), I finally got to one. When I first heard that piece I began to wonder if I could sustain a similar sound for a longer span of time. The result is Become Ocean, a meditation on the vast, deep and mysterious tides of existence. \u003cbr\u003eThe title is borrowed from a mesostic verse that John Cage wrote in honor of Lou Harrison's birthday. Likening Harrison's music to a river in delta, Cage writes: \u003cbr\u003eLiStening to it we becOme oceaN. \u003cbr\u003eLife on this earth first emerged from the sea. And as the polar ice melts and sea level rises, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.'\u003cp\u003eJohn Luther Adams\u003c\/p\u003e  Become Ocean for Orchestra  Composer: John Luther Adams Publisher: Chester Music Format: Full Score Pages: 162","brand":"Chester Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882406773021,"sku":"CH87131","price":164.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/CH87131.jpg?v=1781579238","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/become-ocean-for-orchestra-full-score-by-john-luther-adams","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
