Oh. My. God. Philip Glass is fucking amazing. Have you heard "Mr. Bojangles"? If not, listen: http://guava.cites.uiuc.edu:8080/ramgen/musicreserve/rmfiles/4b0e9f06-04.rm and also this one, "Raising the Sail": http://www.darkgothicfeelings.com/credits.html he's so original, and so clear! and his music makes me laugh. especially mr bojangles.
Right on. I first heard of him when he made a new score to the original Dracula, I was impressed so much that i bought the sound track.....
The two you posted aren't the style of his that I like, but I agree he's an interesting composer. Try the opening song to "Glassworks" 'Glassworks.' You also might like the Koyanisquaatsi movies, he did the sound tracks for them.
Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Phillip Glass.
i like philip glass, but i'm not a huge fan. actualy some of his larger orchestral works are pretty good and ignored by many of his fans in favor of his very minimal works.
Loved his score for "The Thin Blue Line" (1988). Really like some of his stuff but there's a lot that I'm indifferent to.
My god, Music in Fifths was probably the most moving peice I've ever heard in my life. [ He actually came to my city like 3 weeks ago, and I found out the day after he did the show...I was quite disappointed to say the least.
Yes, actually it's a documentary. I saw Powaqqatsi which was produced by George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola... ****Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation is the 1988 sequel to the experimental 1983 documentary film Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio. It is the second film in the Qatsi trilogy. Powaqqatsi is a Hopi word meaning "parasitic way of life" or "life in transition". While Koyaanisqatsi focused on modern life in industrial countries, Powaqqatsi, which similarly has no dialogue, focuses more on the conflict in third world countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization. As with Koyaanisqatsi and the third and final part of the 'Qatsi' trilogy, Naqoyqatsi, the film is strongly related to its soundtrack, written by Philip Glass. Here, human voices (especially children's and mainly from South America and Africa) appear more than in Koyaanisqatsi, in harmony with the film's message and images. A part of the movie's haunting musical score ("Anthem Part 2"), by minimalist composer, Philip Glass, was used in the 1998 film, The Truman Show. Highly recommended!!! All Philip Glass' works ♥ Love ♥ IAO |o| Ø
wow, listening to Mr. Bojangles is nice...kind of relaxing..definately trance inducing..as many of Phillip Glass' works are.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Glass < complete list of his works. Usually if he does the score its an indication of a good movie. All except the hours, I've heard that blows.
Im on my second listen of Eienstin on the beach and its amazingly intense, its almost to the point where its unbareable but for some reason it puts a smile on my face and i havnt quite figured out why. I cant resist turning up the volume. Dont really know that much about him but im very intrugued to here more.
Hey Glass fans! You gotta check out the heros symphony album. you guys know about the work kronos quartet did with clint mansell and mogwai? they did the soundtrack for the movie "the fountain" (its way more manselly then glassy but hey )
