Awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music, John Luther Adams’ Become Ocean was commissioned and premiered by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and Ludovic Morlot in June 2013. In May 2014 the orchestra and Morlot took Become Ocean to Carnegie Hall for the annual Spring for Music festival. Become Ocean is a 45-minute-long work for full orchestra. Adams borrowed the title from a verse by composer John Cage, written in honor of fellow composer Lou Harrison’s birthday. Describing Harrison’s music, Cage wrote, “Listening to it / we become / ocean.” A visionary whose life and work are deeply rooted in the natural world, Adams inscribed the following statement on the score of Become Ocean, “Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. 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.”

Mice on Stilts, a New Zealand-based band, consist of eight members. They are Sam Hennessy (viola), Aaron Longville (sax and trumpet), Tim Burrows (bass), Brendan Zwaan (piano), Rob Sanders (drums), Ben Morley (guitar and vocalist), Joseph Jujnovich (vocal effects) and Calvin Davidson (synth and sax). The band calls their music “doom-folk,” which describes it best, because their sound is a hybrid of different genres working within its own realm of beats and tones.
