Philip Glass

[Yossarian]

Anyone else really like PG? Metamorphosis and Mad Rush are my favorite but he has many I enjoy.

I feel like his music, from what I've read about INTP musical taste, fits very well. It seems to be minimalistic but at the same time very dense and nuanced. Agree, disagree?

Sounds good from what Youtube can offer. very soothing

I love Philip Glass. His scores are very cool, especially Koyaniskatsi and Dracula. In fact, I got to see the world premier of his score for Dracula played live (behind a semi-transparent movie screen) by Kronos Quartet. Very cool.

I also like his other work, like the album Glassworks, for example. I'm a big fan of minimalist composers. If you like Glass, you might also like John Adams, Steve Reich, Brian Eno, etc.

does Coldplay 'Viva la Vida', being produced by Brian Eno, have lots of symphonic elements?

 

[FusionKnight]

Well, I was thinking more like Brian Eno's Music for Airports...

Steve Reich's Piano Phase is pretty freakin amazing too... especially performed live...

I find this music hilarious. In a good way of course.

I just recently discovered Phillip Glass, as well. Brilliant work. If anyone doesn't know it, I recommend taking a look at this version of Metamorphosis.

I have loved philip glass ever since watching The Truman Show when it was released. He uses the most basic elements of composing, but makes it sound divine.. I guess that goes for all minimalistic composers.

It's funny though. When finding out about philip glass, I realized I had enjoyed his music ever since watching Mishima when I was younger.

I discovered his music about 3 months ago and I love it since. Simple, but rich and filled with emotions.

I like Philip Glass' piano music, I'm a sucker for piano anyway, always will be. The more synthesized songs not so much. Some of his composing is a little repetitive for me, doing the same chords over and over and over. But it is still elegant and enjoyable. I liked the hours songs.

Well, I didn't know about Philip Glass before, however, thanks to this lovely thread, I now have some new music

He's a really interesting guy. I saw a documentary of him awhile ago.

His style is definitely minimalistic and a bit repetitive. Most of his earliest music was painfully repetitive.

I remember seeing that famous B&W portrait of him in a textbook last semester and looking him up on Wikipedia, but for whatever reason, at the time, I didn't think to listen to any of his music. Mistake. I like it lots.
