Thomas Ads: Full of Noises: Conversations with Tom Service,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Composer, conductor, and pianist, Thomas Ads is one of the most diversely talented musical figures of his generation. His music is performed by great opera companies, symphony orchestras, chamber groups, and music festivals throughout the world. But Ads has resisted public discussion of the creative process behind his musical compositions. Until now, the interior experience that has fired the spectrum of his workfrom his first opera, Powder Her Face, to his masterpiece The Tempest and his acclaimed orchestral works Asyla and Tevothas largely remained unexplained. Here, in spirited, intimate, and, at times, contentious conversations with the distinguished music critic Tom Service, Ads opens up about his work. 'For Ads, whose literary and artistic sensibilities are nearly as refined and virtuosic as his musical instincts,' writes Service, 'inhabiting the different territory of words rather than notes offers a chance to search out new creative correspondences, to open doorsa phrase he often usesinto new ways of thinking in and about music.'The phrase 'full of noises,' from Caliban's speech in The Tempest, refers both to the sounds 'swirling around' Ads's head that are transmuted into music and to the vast array of his musical influencesfrom Sephardic folk music, to 1980s electronica, to Ads's passion for Beethoven and Jancek and his equally visceral dislike of Wagner. It also suggests 'the creative friction' essential to any authentic dialogue. As readers of these 'wilfully brilliant' conversations will quickly discover, Thomas Ads: Full of Noises brings us into the 'revelatory kaleidoscope' of Ads's world.
