Last night I literally ran into Dev Hynes at my local deli in Manhattan. We chatted for a bit, he was super positive and light hearted and it really raised my spirits running into him. Anyways, this vid popped up for me after I watched the video he released today. So I'm thinking "wow, what a cool insight into the lives of two artists I look up to" and come to find out this was released on my birthday??? I'm thinking Dev Hynes might be my spirit animal.
i met him too in florence at like 1 am in some small side street. didn't have the time to chat cause i had to catch a bus, and wouldn't be able to have a normal conversation since i was slightly tipsy.
"When things get out of balance, the arts come in and bring the human side back. Without that, our societies would be prisons. They wouldn't be able to renew themselves." -- Philip Glass
These types of raw, honest interviews are beyond the most enjoyable; and also convincing in my opinion. By convincing I mean that the message and/or knowledge that they are sharing resonates the best with those listening -- at least with me personally. Wonderful video and story. It's amazing how much people can relate to each other, even with so many years between their similar experiences.
This is so very inspirational, thank you, mr. Glass, for having lived your life as you decided to do, and also NPR Music and Devonté for this great content!
Wow I love both these artists. Amazing pairing. Thanks NPR for producing this! I especially love what Glass had to say about the importance of the arts in our society.
I began watching this video because I'm a Philip Glass fan and finished it leaving a Blood Orange fan lol For those who don't know, the song at the beginning and end of the video is called I Know by Blood Orange
I did not know who is Dev Hynes, until now. I came to watch what Philip Glass said. Interesting to see who are the current inspirations of other musicians.
2:43 Philip: "he didn`t say this is the good music and this is the bad music or this is the classical music. we never used those words. it was all just music" 5:40 also Philip: "i said,oh,maybe Jefferson was like that. maybe Jefferson was a hip hop guy" LOL
Whew, Philip Glass liked Hamilton quite a lot from the sound of things! Wonder what Lin-Manuel Miranda would think about that. We'd have a feedback loop of two great masters just congratulating each other all the time.
Juilliard wasn’t at Lincoln Center when Glass said he told his mother he was going there. There was no Lincoln Center at that time. Juilliard was uptown.
mmm actually I reckon Dev Hynes found Philip Glass's music on a blog or youtube and then illegally downloaded a few albums before buying the records (could be wrong)
“I never took a job that I couldn’t quit very easily”
For a musician those are words to live by, right there.
I think thats good advicw for everyone, always have options otherwise you'll feel like a slave to your job
C'est lá vérité
NPR Music never fails to deliver the best journalism and music on the Internet. More proof of this right here.

Legit
Hencewhy major labels are corrupting artists integrity.

Well said!
Love Glass and can't wait to hear his 3rd piano concerto. This guy is a living legend, folks.
Witness him
Philip Glass is always a joy to listen to, no ego, very warm and genuine man....

Blood Orange and Philip Glass together, in one video chatting? And at least one is a big fan of the other? What a holiday!

fantastic
those ana kras chairs! the colors! everything! ahh!

What is the name of the piece at 4:42
NPR Music: you should pull some strings and get Devonte a ticket for Hamilton.
Enjoyed it but what's with the pink rat at 3:11?
hisroyalblueness New York is famous for having lots of rats
Oh, that's you!
thanks
wow
Philip Glass would be any musicians wet dream
REAL TALK!
What are the songs in this video?
Juilliard wasn’t at Lincoln Center when Glass said he told his mother he was going there. There was no Lincoln Center at that time. Juilliard was uptown.
Does anyone know the model of the sandal dev is using? i love them.
It is somewhat sick to think that when things are bad, artist then rise to fill the void.
where's the rest of it??
what film or theater is philipp talking about towards the end? i can't make out the name.
Hamilton
what is the song that plays at the beginning
I like devs hat I want one 😭
if you have never listened to Glass’ Einstein on the Beach...do your self a favor and do it rtfn
Music at 5.10 please?
anyone know what shoes dev is wearing?
album covers you say? :D
TWO CREATIVE PEOPLE WHHAA
any1 know what brand Dev's shoes are?
I wish I could know too! did you find it?
Chancla
@@ybuzz do you know the brand? haha
People always say that they casually came to new york when they're from another country, I'm thinking it's not that easy, is it?
thechampionessa for musicians signing deals with New York based labels, it can be, potentially
even hans zimmer look for inspiration from the great philip glass
To short!
Looks like Wes Anderson did the edit 😀
53 minutes too short
so pop is wider than classical music now? haha
Usa is pretty close to a prison though.
This guy will never be at the high level of Philip Glass. Never.
yo this interview bullshit man I j tryna hear by boy D talk to my boy PG for hours on E
He’s 21.....? Fôck
He said he came to New York when he was 21
kungmat 31 rather
Ten years ago
Who the frig is Phillip Glass?
it's not very hard to use the internet and find out, there is no excuse to be ignorant in 2018
@@cometcourse381My comment wasn't a genuine question, it was a passive aggressive jab at Phillip Glass.

this was a bad chopped up edit, shame on NPR
