Composer Charlie Morrow

Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

Some implode in chaos, others thrive. Morrow thrives. Join us when Composer Charlie Morrow, the writer of the Leonard Lopate at Large theme music, offers fascinating discussion on the phenomena of sound. The project includes experiences recalled during birth. Charlie Morrow’s story begins at birth, a cliché for some, but for him a dearly held fact, because memories of his birth catapulted him into art. He spent over a decade recalling the “physically painful passage through maternal contractions and expulsion into the aerobic world,” he writes his involuntary attention to sound begins at gestation. Discover how Morrow’s early immersive experiences influenced his practice and how they’re mirrored in the work of his collaborator-founder-inventor-colleagues on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
