Whether he’s teaching or composing, things for this man pretty much center around 88 keys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he’s actually a very distant relation to George Gershwin, Schoenberg’s music is quite close in spirit, and it’s drawn comparisons to his iconic relative and other big names. Not all of them classical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the greatest compliments I’ve ever had is someone came up to me and said, ‘your music sounds like Radiohead meeting Aaron Copland,’” says Schoenberg. “In my car I have Sirius radio and I listen to Lithium, which is Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana, and Backspin, which is hip-hop from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. I really do feel my music embraces the pop idiom or hip-hop idiom because it’s part of my DNA. So yeah, I embody the music of our time and put a little twist to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”IbO0TgUTXm4nc25SH1iEgT1mMZ71tb4d”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of Schoenberg’s work has a cinematic feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was drawn to soundtracks, but we didn’t really own soundtracks,” he says. “My father is also a film composer, and when we would go see movies we always stayed to the end of the credits. And we would always listen, we’d be the last people in the theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schoenberg is prolific, but his creative process begins with sitting down and winging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll improvise for hours upon hours, record my improvisations and then I’ll extract a chord progression, it could be just a note, it could be a melody, it could be a texture, it could be a rhythm. Then I’ll start to sculpt it and craft it, and at that point I begin to think of myself as an architect building from this base material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s got computers and keyboards to capture those nuggets, but inspiration won’t always wait until a man’s in his studio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For right now, I basically record on my iPhone,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure enough, he’s got all manner of fragments stowed away on his voice memo, bits of singing with his young sons yelling in the background, a few skeletal notes on a piano, chords that repeat over and over as he searches for a path to open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, from one 27-second bit of humble warbling sprang the opening line of Schoenberg’s upcoming work, “Orchard in Fog.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644688\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-800x1149.jpg\" alt=\"Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers commissioned Adam Schoenberg's first violin concerto.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1149\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11644688\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-800x1149.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-160x230.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-1020x1465.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-1180x1695.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-960x1379.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-240x345.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-375x539.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-520x747.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers commissioned Adam Schoenberg’s first violin concerto. \u003ccite>(Courtesy David Zentz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s based on a photograph by Adam Laipson, who’s from the same town in Massachusetts where I grew up, Salem, but not the witch one,” says Schoenberg. “My wife and I got married in an apple orchard on a gorgeous farm, quintessential New England, and Adam happened to take a photograph of the orchard in the winter. It’s haunting and beautiful. It’s in our bedroom and I wake up to it every single morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece is his first violin concerto, and it will have its world premiere \u003ca href=\"http://purchasing.sandiegosymphony.org/single/eventDetail.aspx?p=6361\">February 10 with the San Diego Symphony\u003c/a> featuring renowned concert violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, who commissioned the piece. But right now it’s still very much a work in progress, and will be so down to the wire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah,” says Schoenberg. “I’ll be in my hotel room in San Diego making changes to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh God, I don’t want to hear that!” laughs Meyers. “I really wish you didn’t tell me that! Composers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Meyers, the consummate pro, will no doubt come through in the clinch. And after all, she commissioned the work, and she’s a big fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His music is easily accessible and I mean that in the best sense,” she says. “Like a lot of other music can be non-transparent, and you feel like you almost need a degree in some kind of science to understand what is going on, but there’s none of that with Adam’s music. It just speaks to you, and it speaks simply and beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think in the 21st Century we’re sort of at this renaissance,” Schoenberg says. “Every kid who gets a laptop can write a track and upload it to Youtube and say, ‘I wrote this.’ And at that point you have to figure out your voice, who you are, what it is you want to say and then how you’re going to distinguish yourself. But that’s a lifelong journey, I suppose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Schoenberg’s well on the road, and the next stop is New York City for the Grammy Awards. After that, it’s back to the piano.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Whether he’s teaching or composing, things for this man pretty much center around 88 keys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he’s actually a very distant relation to George Gershwin, Schoenberg’s music is quite close in spirit, and it’s drawn comparisons to his iconic relative and other big names. Not all of them classical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the greatest compliments I’ve ever had is someone came up to me and said, ‘your music sounds like Radiohead meeting Aaron Copland,’” says Schoenberg. “In my car I have Sirius radio and I listen to Lithium, which is Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana, and Backspin, which is hip-hop from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. I really do feel my music embraces the pop idiom or hip-hop idiom because it’s part of my DNA. So yeah, I embody the music of our time and put a little twist to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of Schoenberg’s work has a cinematic feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was drawn to soundtracks, but we didn’t really own soundtracks,” he says. “My father is also a film composer, and when we would go see movies we always stayed to the end of the credits. And we would always listen, we’d be the last people in the theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schoenberg is prolific, but his creative process begins with sitting down and winging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll improvise for hours upon hours, record my improvisations and then I’ll extract a chord progression, it could be just a note, it could be a melody, it could be a texture, it could be a rhythm. Then I’ll start to sculpt it and craft it, and at that point I begin to think of myself as an architect building from this base material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s got computers and keyboards to capture those nuggets, but inspiration won’t always wait until a man’s in his studio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For right now, I basically record on my iPhone,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure enough, he’s got all manner of fragments stowed away on his voice memo, bits of singing with his young sons yelling in the background, a few skeletal notes on a piano, chords that repeat over and over as he searches for a path to open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, from one 27-second bit of humble warbling sprang the opening line of Schoenberg’s upcoming work, “Orchard in Fog.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644688\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-800x1149.jpg\" alt=\"Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers commissioned Adam Schoenberg's first violin concerto.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1149\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11644688\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-800x1149.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-160x230.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-1020x1465.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-1180x1695.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-960x1379.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-240x345.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-375x539.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AnneAkikoMeyers-520x747.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers commissioned Adam Schoenberg’s first violin concerto. \u003ccite>(Courtesy David Zentz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s based on a photograph by Adam Laipson, who’s from the same town in Massachusetts where I grew up, Salem, but not the witch one,” says Schoenberg. “My wife and I got married in an apple orchard on a gorgeous farm, quintessential New England, and Adam happened to take a photograph of the orchard in the winter. It’s haunting and beautiful. It’s in our bedroom and I wake up to it every single morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece is his first violin concerto, and it will have its world premiere \u003ca href=\"http://purchasing.sandiegosymphony.org/single/eventDetail.aspx?p=6361\">February 10 with the San Diego Symphony\u003c/a> featuring renowned concert violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, who commissioned the piece. But right now it’s still very much a work in progress, and will be so down to the wire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah,” says Schoenberg. “I’ll be in my hotel room in San Diego making changes to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh God, I don’t want to hear that!” laughs Meyers. “I really wish you didn’t tell me that! Composers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Meyers, the consummate pro, will no doubt come through in the clinch. And after all, she commissioned the work, and she’s a big fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His music is easily accessible and I mean that in the best sense,” she says. “Like a lot of other music can be non-transparent, and you feel like you almost need a degree in some kind of science to understand what is going on, but there’s none of that with Adam’s music. It just speaks to you, and it speaks simply and beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think in the 21st Century we’re sort of at this renaissance,” Schoenberg says. “Every kid who gets a laptop can write a track and upload it to Youtube and say, ‘I wrote this.’ And at that point you have to figure out your voice, who you are, what it is you want to say and then how you’re going to distinguish yourself. But that’s a lifelong journey, I suppose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And then when the fire and all these horrible things happened, when we needed to come together and pick each other up, [I thought of the lyrics]: “When everything falls apart we come together.” So that just popped into my head and I just started writing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go around Montecito right now, you just see people who are out there shoveling mud, for no reason other than to shovel mud for people that they don’t even know and they might not ever meet, but they want to do it because they want to love on each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Was your family’s home in Carpinteria damaged at all during the Thomas Fire or the flash flooding?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, we’re actually right on the border of the mandatory evacuation zone and so we were packed up [and ready to evacuate] the whole time. It was really interesting having to pack everything up and see what we’d take with us. My parents, for instance, had a picture of their wedding and that was super cool. But I really don’t have anything like that. I honestly just took notebooks of the songs I’ve written, files of music and guitars. I didn’t have anything that special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know a lot of people who have lost people that are close to them. I don’t really know what to say about it.

I started competing in like statewide competitions for jazz, classical and stuff. I don’t know how I wrote my first song, but I actually remember the whole song. It’s not very good so I won’t sing it now, but [the lyrics are]: “This is why I can’t afford to go out there and lie anymore / It messed up my life and now I learned the longer you do it, it just gets worse and worse / So all I have to do is work hard every day, keep on pressing on and some day it will all come together and get all better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644587\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11644587\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carpinteria singer-songwriter Jason Paras. \u003ccite>(Steven Cuevas / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I’m currently recording a song about how everyone’s important, no matter who you are, no matter what your job is.

It’s picturing a community as a puzzle — or it could be our nation as a puzzle. Every single role is vital in order to make this one beautiful masterpiece. Seeing things like that in our community, seeing people no matter what your job is, no matter what you believe in, everyone is contributing to the same cause. And everyone is, you know, out there shoveling mud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How have these disasters and the way the community responded changed you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel like for me everything that’s happened [has] completely changed my life and how I’ll handle things in the future. I feel like every time I go through something I’ll remember this and how the Santa Barbara community has dealt with it. And I’ll remember how important it is that we stick together and we lift each other up in times of crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’ve only just completed writing and producing your song “We Come Together.” What are your hopes for it? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it would be really cool if we could use it at different events for the community, when the community comes together, anything of that sort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no denying how dark of a time this is. People have lost loved ones and all the houses destroyed, cars being washed from the mountains to the beaches. There’s no denying how dark of a time it is. I really hope that this song shows that there is some light in the darkness right now.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We heard from refugees, military veterans, journalists, activists and more. This story comes from Steven Burchik, who enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967, as the Vietnam War was ramping up. Throughout his deployment he carried a camera, photographing his fellow soldiers and the Vietnamese villagers they interacted with. Following his service, he didn’t speak to anyone about his experiences for more than 40 years.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had just finished college. It was June 1967 and odds were pretty good I was going to be drafted, so I enlisted basically to save time.

Founded in 1955, this church became famous for its weekly television show, \u003ca href=\"http://hourofpower.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“The Hour of Power”\u003c/a> and glitzy holiday productions at Christmas and Easter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Televising the morning service from the Crystal Cathedral both extended the reach of the church and allowed people to enjoy Sunday worship service from the comfort of their living rooms. The holiday productions, complete with performances from live animals and actors, were aimed at bringing people into the church to see, hear and experience biblical stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Christmas story from the New Testament Gospels was reenacted in the main sanctuary of the church with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable, along with the wise men, angels, and even camels and donkeys. The Easter story was similarly reenacted with a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus, Roman soldiers, weeping followers and an empty tomb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, perhaps more important than those costume dramas, was founding \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/03/us/rev-robert-h-schuller-hour-of-power-evangelist-dies-at-88.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pastor Robert Schuller’s\u003c/a> idea to use a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/06/reel-faith-how-the-drive-in-movie-theater-helped-create-the-megachurch/258248/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local drive-in movie theater\u003c/a> for Sunday services. Motivated at least in part by the lack of availability of other venues, Schuller turned the necessity of meeting in a drive-in theater into a cultural adaptation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the post-World War II jobs and housing boom, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520073951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schuller capitalized\u003c/a> on a Southern Californian’s dependence on and familiarity with the automobile. People could come to church and never have to leave their car. Thus, partly out of necessity, partly out of vision, Schuller combined the car culture of Southern California and the more casual vibe of the region, by linking church with what people did in their everyday lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11641361\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11641361\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-160x87.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-800x435.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-960x522.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-240x131.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-375x204.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-520x283.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garden Grove community drive-in church. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A6207-GardenGroveCommunityDriveInChurch.jpg\">Robert J.

There was no need to “dress up.” Once there, they heard a traditional, “Bible-based” sermon from Chuck Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what really differentiated Calvary Chapel was its inclusion of music that sounded just like the popular rock and folk music of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/6yZWnjuMH9g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvary Chapel became a hub of activity for young people in the \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/jesus-people-a-movement-born-from-the-summer-of-love-82421\">“Jesus Movement,”\u003c/a> that combined a conservative evangelical Christianity with the look of the countercultural hippie style. Calvary Chapel sponsored concerts of “Jesus music” which was essentially folk and rock music with Christian lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/cQHDDtlTbiM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These concerts \u003ca href=\"https://global.oup.com/academic/product/gods-forever-family-9780195326451?q=God%27s%20Forever%20Family&lang=en&cc=us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attracted scores of young people\u003c/a>. Rather than Sunday services being characterized by organ and choir music, guitars and folksy music with Christian lyrics became the norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvary Chapel institutionalized and popularized the music through the creation of the \u003ca href=\"https://maranathamusic.com/pages/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maranatha Music\u003c/a>, a record label that soon gained immense popularity. Along with other Christian music labels that followed, this music reached a much larger population of evangelical Christians than any concert or church worship service could.

Founded in 1955, this church became famous for its weekly television show, \u003ca href=\"http://hourofpower.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“The Hour of Power”\u003c/a> and glitzy holiday productions at Christmas and Easter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Televising the morning service from the Crystal Cathedral both extended the reach of the church and allowed people to enjoy Sunday worship service from the comfort of their living rooms. The holiday productions, complete with performances from live animals and actors, were aimed at bringing people into the church to see, hear and experience biblical stories.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>For example, the Christmas story from the New Testament Gospels was reenacted in the main sanctuary of the church with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable, along with the wise men, angels, and even camels and donkeys.

"content": "\u003cp>Jaron Lanier is known as the founding father of virtual reality. In his new book, “\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2018/01/03/virtual-realitys-founding-father-on-silicon-valley-early-inspirations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality\u003c/a>,” he recounts his own early life, along with the early lives of Silicon Valley and virtual reality technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But VR isn’t the only thing in Lanier’s life. He’s also a passionate music fan and musician who can play “really a lot” of instruments. He recently sat down to talk about why we should still care about virtual reality and why it’s a sin to rank pieces of music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”r7wDKvqXnrpgKJM9Y421KLMAUsrm9EiN”]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Describe your book in 10 words or fewer.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Well I’m not counting, and saying I’m not counting can’t count for the word count. But given that, it explores my autobiography up until 1992. So it’s a nostalgic look at early Silicon Valley. It introduces virtual reality technology one sense organ at a time and it does those things together so it’s kind of unfolding the human sensorium at the same time that it tries to explore one’s own character and memory and also the unfolding of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a kind of a quick book that’s easy to summarize. It’s more like this mansion or maze for you to explore. And I know the fashion these days is for little things that are easy to read. It’s not like that. This is a book to really get into. It will take some effort to read, and I certainly hope that you’ll be rewarded if you put in the effort to explore it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not hard like a text book. It’s hard like a fantasy novel. Like if you’re into “Infinite Jest” or a Pynchon book, you might like it. It’s a little closer to that sort of book perhaps. [12.4]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why should we still be reading about virtual reality?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Virtual reality is in some ways the ultimate digital technology. It pushes it as far as it can go to synthesize reality. So if you understand virtual reality, you can then understand other kinds of digital technology more easily. Virtual reality is potentially both the creepiest and the most beautiful form of digital technology. I think it’s easily the most fun form of digital technology.

In his new book, “\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2018/01/03/virtual-realitys-founding-father-on-silicon-valley-early-inspirations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality\u003c/a>,” he recounts his own early life, along with the early lives of Silicon Valley and virtual reality technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But VR isn’t the only thing in Lanier’s life. He’s also a passionate music fan and musician who can play “really a lot” of instruments. He recently sat down to talk about why we should still care about virtual reality and why it’s a sin to rank pieces of music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Describe your book in 10 words or fewer.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Well I’m not counting, and saying I’m not counting can’t count for the word count. But given that, it explores my autobiography up until 1992. So it’s a nostalgic look at early Silicon Valley. It introduces virtual reality technology one sense organ at a time and it does those things together so it’s kind of unfolding the human sensorium at the same time that it tries to explore one’s own character and memory and also the unfolding of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a kind of a quick book that’s easy to summarize. It’s more like this mansion or maze for you to explore. And I know the fashion these days is for little things that are easy to read. It’s not like that. This is a book to really get into. It will take some effort to read, and I certainly hope that you’ll be rewarded if you put in the effort to explore it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
