Atmosphères is a piece for full orchestra, composed by György Ligeti in 1961. It is noted for eschewing conventional melody and metre in favor of dense sound textures. After Apparitions, it was the second piece Ligeti wrote to exploit what he called a " micropolyphonic" texture. It gained further exposure after being used in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Atmospheres was a weekly television series on The Weather Channel. The series, hosted by meteorologist Jim Cantore and Mish Michaels, featured current weather news and information. Some of the original segments included "Feature of the Week", dramatic rescue stories from inclement weather (which would set the tone for Storm Stories); "Destinations", which highlighted exotic locales; "In The Elements", profiles of people working in extreme weather (a forerunner to Epic Conditions), and a unique weather story that varied with each episode. Each episode contained three local and two national forecasts.
Originally, Atmospheres aired new episodes on Sundays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. eastern, Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern, and Saturdays at 5 p.m. Eastern. Encore episodes aired on Saturdays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Eastern and Sundays at 5 p.m. Eastern. In January 2003, when the award winning drama Storm Stories premiered, new episodes of Atmospheres no longer aired. Reruns still aired on weekends until the end of summer 2003 when Storm Stories started airing every night. Since then, Atmospheres has not been on The Weather Channel's programming schedule; however, Atmospheres was the first entry of an initiative proposed in 2000 (by Jim Alexander, former head of viewer research) for creating a defining signature long-form program like Storm Stories, It Could Happen Tomorrow and When Weather Changed History. Cantore's new show, Storm Stories premiered the same night Atmospheres had ended.
Atmospheres is the debut live album by Justin Jarvis. Jesus Culture Music released the album on September 30, 2014. Jarvis worked with Jeremy Edwardson in the production of this album.
