Words Without Music | Philip Glass | Talks at Google

The New York Times has called him “the most prolific and popular of all contemporary composers”. Everyone, it seems, has a strong opinion about his music. Now meet the man behind it.

Congratulations to the sound engineers at Google in Massachusetts in 2015. One could actually understand Philip Glass without subtitles.

Been a fan of Mr. Glass for years, so you'll forgive me for what I'm about to tell you...Almost twenty years ago I was working in the music dept. of a Borders Books in NJ. Being familiar with Glass' music I knew how people responded both positively and not so positively to it. So I decided to bet a co worker that I could get a customer to complain about our(my) choice in music to be played through the speaker system. Within oh, 3 or 4 minutes of starting the music, a customer approached us and kindly said "I'll do anything, just please turn off that music". Winning the bet, I happily obliged the customer's request. I don't recall the specific piece, but I'm sure it was one I and many enjoyed and continue to enjoy:)

The book is fun (I'm a quarter throughout it). He's had a varied life in addition to, and because of music.
