“Standing back from the score of Become Desert, it looks like a pen-and-ink drawing of a desert landscape.” Composer John Luther Adams shares his process of creating the visually arresting score for “Become Desert,” which has its New York Premiere June 8–10. You’ll be able to see portions of the score on the 50-foot Hauser Digital Wall in the LeFrak Lobby of David Geffen Hall, beginning the week of June 5. | New York Philharmonic
