Composer John Luther Adams won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for his composition, Become Ocean. The Seattle Symphony has just released a recording of its performance of the piece.

John Luther Adams stopped by to talk with Fred about the importance and relevance of art, especially when placed side-by-side with "bigger" worries like war and climate change.

The composer also gives us some insight on the ups and downs of Become Ocean, and how to listen to it.
