Philip Glass

& part of the score to “Mindwalk”, that film I am attempting to transfer from film stock to 4K. Anyone know Liv Ullmann or Sam Waterston? LONG STORY… anyhoo, when the brass comes in at 1m2s, it’s unreal. But the strings are lovely the entire track. This track haunts me, because you can’t “get it” anywhere, and it’s integral to the film, and would love to see all this daylight into the world again.

His work is sublime, if not filled with moody emotion. You’ve likely heard it attached to motivational or philosophical videos on youtube, and the like. It’s very compelling minimalism, and like Einaudi, I believe the classical community doesn’t always respect people who bring minimalism or pop convention to modern classical. I love this track so much, “On the Nature of Daylight, (Entropy)”

I AGGRESSIVELY recommend you check out the ENTIRE Cercle youtube channel, even if just for background music at work. But it’s beautiful, and moving, and I am completely addicted to this concept of performance:
