Lou Harrison: A World of Music

Overview

A feature length documentary about the great American composer, artist, writer, activist, Lou Harrison (1917 – 2003). It is the intimate portrait of a great composer who followed his own dreams for over seven decades. Trading a fast-paced New York career for a remote cabin in the woods, Harrison embraced artistic playfulness over the business of composing. Experimenting freely with western, eastern and custom made instruments Harrison forged a new course for 20th century music.
