  • "We honor musicians like Philip Glass. Like his own life like a New York City Juilliard trained cab driver, Philip's work is filled with contradictions that cross genres and cultures.
    When the music he made strayed from neat conventions audiences didn't know always how to react. I understand that there have been some eggs thrown occasionally. But as Philip says what seems strange or bizarre for any short period of time starts becoming familiar. Whatever artistic rewards or secrets it might have, become revealed.
    Change isn't easy. But over his career of symphonies and operas and film scores Philip Glass has proven that change can be beautiful." President Barack Obama, 9/22/16

      😂 Surreal!
      Meditation can lead you to very strange places. 😉
      Nevertheless, happy for Mr. Glass.

    Bless you always! I have a story to tell you. Im sure you don't remember me but I met you after a concert in Budapest and asked you to sign my composition book. Á few weeks ago I met a couple from the UK and Holland, where I live, in Jordan.. It turns out they met you on exactly the same night, you gave them a lot of food you had left over in a Thai Restaurant. I had been showing them a movie I made and had put your music as a background. I am sure your spirit helped us to connect and meet! Thanksyou! You are an amazing and unique man and a lifetime inspirition.

    Saw you at 1980, Minneapolis or Kansas City.. A fragile year in my personal intellectual life but one that replanted sanity. It goes without saying to challenge religion, one must explore the vast sounds of otherness, flow into our brief understanding of eternity.

    Look over there at that faraway place, can you sense the darkness? - Then turn away and look at what you've seen.. with your mind's eye.

    I suggest a 1 to 1 1/2 hr long thang using paranoid, SBS, MOR, VOL iv - a major, moving piece of meaningful art - the imagery must match the music, the highest quality, the greatest accuracy...We need a large open studio type of place - at least a basketball court - a large touch led and sound system at one end - I like Wash state - movable workspots...Look at the 27" Wacom cintiq touch screen qhd hooked to a top-notch HP workstation - you can run many programs, most importantly the 3D programs - there are many hand scanners for faces, weapons, fabric, etc. - we can animate, change cameras, lighting, etc. - ITS RIPE - I think its King Wenceslas vs an early Vlad in Bohemia around 1000 AD (Im a classic moralist - that movie trying to make Vlad look like a good guy is evil) If its good enough we can produce our own music and sell it otherwise its a contribution to BS's mighty work....This gen is almost over.
