Philip Glass
Glass is the master of minimalism — repetitive patterns that gradually shift and transform. His music is hypnotic, meditative, and strangely moving. From film scores to operas, he created a new musical language.
Essential Listening
Glassworks - Opening
Arpeggios build and shift hypnotically. The most accessible entry point to Glass's world.
Koyaanisqatsi
'Life out of balance' — the film that brought Glass to global attention. Mesmerizing and profound.
Metamorphosis One
Solo piano in slowly evolving patterns. Melancholy and contemplative — Glass at his most intimate.
