Flow State - Philip Glass
You’re on the free tier of Flow State. To get our weekly Tuesday mixes and daily Spotify playlists, become a subscriber: Good morning. Today we’re listening to Philip Glass, an American composer and pianist from Baltimore. Born in 1937, Glass studied composition at Juilliard and collected avant-garde influences across the 1960s including Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Serra, and Ravi Shankar. Along with Steve Reich, Glass pioneered the musical style of minimalism, which used static phrasing and heavy repetition. We’re playing a great example of this style, Glass’s score for the 1982 movie Koyaanisqatsi, which recently turned 40. Directed by Godfrey Reggio, the movie and its score portray modern humanity as ever-accelerating and ultimately unsustainable. Koyaanisqatsi - Philip Glass (80m, choral vocals & the title is sung on tracks 1 and 12) Have a really nice Wednesday.
