Philip Glass

In 1976, composer Philip Glass and director Robert Wilson collaborated to create the groundbreaking opera Einstein on the Beach, which may be the most significant product of either individual’s artistic output. Though rarely performed, Einstein on the Beach is considered one of the most influential and revolutionary contributions to the operatic genre. Deeply experimental, featuring minimal plot and nearly five hours of simplistic, repetitive music, Einstein on the Beach is now revered as a masterpiece

Protest in 1908, this composer is none other but Philip Glass. Glass was always looking to present his music in a very bizarre, but different and in a unique way since the 80’s. In contrast, the second composer who will be discussed is Arnold Schoenberg, he was a composer who told a story through the pieces he had composed; for example Schoenberg composed Gebet an Pierrot No. 9 in 1912 which is expressed in a distinct and narrative way. Both Glass and Schoenberg contributed a great deal of music

In the 1982 film by Godfrey Reggio, Ron Fricke and Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, the filmmakers use imagery and music rather than dialogue to convey emotion, time and meaning.

Four notes on a piano are played, unaccompanied, as though cutting through the still quietness of a small room. This composure is "A Gentleman's Honour," by Philip Glass, from the opera "The Photographer." These crisp notes are repeated, once, twice, and a third time, all at varying pitch. Fifteen seconds from the first series of notes, the piano is made to be silent, and is replaced with a group of strings and brass. The strings play a continuous, high-pitched series of notes wich repeat themselves

designer. I chose this theorist because I was interested by the fact that he grew up with an auditory processing diagnosis (Koniasberg) which is also a diagnosis that I have. Wilson is well known for his collaboration with other artists such as Philip Glass on Einstein on the Beach as well as Lady Gaga. Wilson often pushes the boundaries of theatre. In other words, “His works are noted for their austere style, very slow movement, and often extreme scale in space or in time” (Duffie) Furthermore, “His

Weakened by the day’s toll, fair Simon walks towards the fire. He unknowingly walks towards what will be his deathbed. He is beaten to shreds when the other boys mistake him for the beast- or do they? As his lifeless body floats out to sea, the boys are in denial and disbelief. The tone and language used in both of these passages found in chapter 9 of “Lord of the flies” creates a large contrast between Simon’s murder and his valediction. Because it is written with Golding’s beliefs about humanity

1. Truman begins doubt whether or not his life is real for many reasons. The first reason being the light that falls from the sky, which he’s never seen anything like that before and has no idea what to think about it. Another reason is that Truman sees his father who “died” in a boating accident when he was a child. Truman seeing his father is what really pushed him over the edge into realizing that nothing in his life was actually real. The third thing that pushed him to question his

Summary For my final project, I have produced a three track EP along with a music video for each track, as emotions are enhanced through music, when also displayed visually REFERENCE. My EP is mainly based on chilled house music, embellished with a fusion of different genres and cultures, which was heavily influenced by ‘Migration’ (Nitin Sawhney, 1995). Furthermore, in producing these tracks, I have composed, written the lyrics, recorded, mixed and mastered my own songs before choreographing,
