Composer Philip Glass

Back in the early 80's, I saw an incredible film on PBS. I always remembered that Philip Glass was the composer. His unique repetitive high-tech style is played over a video of urban life that is accelerated to show the fast paced nature of the world. The combination is mesmerizing.

Now, with the impetus of his Best Score nomination for Notes On A Scandal and the marvel of the Internet, I have finally found it on his site.

The work is called Koyaanisqatsi.

"The Crone Returneth"

Saw Notes On A Scandal yesterday. The movie was great. I know when something really affects me when it dominates my dreams that night!

It's up for four Oscars:

Judi Dench — Leading Actress
Cate Blanchett — Supporting Actress
Patrick Marber — Writing, Adapted Screenplay
Philip Glass — Score

Loved them all!
