| Wishchrono ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 06:17:14 mrsticker2 is right... He studied at the Juilliard School of Music, and, source Wiki: "The Juilliard School is one of the world's premier performing arts conservatories." __________________________________________________ | |
| Wishchrono ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 19:02:36 Well. I get lost in his music, and i enjoy every beat of it. He surpasses the importance of innovation. If you don't like it, you just don't understand it. __________________________________________________ | |

I am not going to disagree that it is not static - it is, but if you care to get yourself 'into' the ocean of sound that the music generates, the entire experience can be extremely enjoyable. We get dismissed as elitists with no musical taste....but just because we (genuinely) enjoy it doesn't mean we should get picked on. =) __________________________________________________ | |

I think it would be fair to compare Glass with the indian composer Ravi Shankar or even the avant garde composer John Cage. It's a look at composition from a philosophical standpoint and utilizing eastern methods of composition. __________________________________________________ | |
| norathorr ::: Favorites 2007-12-16 11:31:18 Innovation is not repeating the same crap over and over for an entire piece. Minor rhythmical variations are not innovative. They are the most base form of musical variance. The point about this music is that it should not be hailed as innovation as there is nothing innovative about it by definition. Perhaps one could see the form of the opera as new but I do not see much point in an opera where watching the whole thing is not important. __________________________________________________ | |
| SavedbyJaco ::: Favorites 2007-12-07 00:30:08 I love that line, I'll be repeating it to my roommate who hates Philip Glass's music __________________________________________________ | |
| SavedbyJaco ::: Favorites 2007-12-07 00:27:47 I'd go out and buy him a coffee in hopes that he could share some of his brilliance with me and somehow inspire me __________________________________________________ | |
| chauvelin128 ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 18:54:50 Innovation is not about getting a harmony and counterpoint book and using formulas to make copies of someone else's art—innovation is about deciding to throw out your harmony and counterpoint book and using your heart instead. __________________________________________________ | |
| GlassEtudes ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 13:04:53 People can have the tendency to dismiss everything they don't understand as crap. __________________________________________________ | |
| mrsticker2 ::: Favorites 2007-12-04 20:25:28 That's a friendly gesture, but my guess is that he's probably familiar with those books. I hope you know, he decided to break the rules AFTER he learned them. __________________________________________________ | |
| norathorr ::: Favorites 2007-12-02 15:34:09 I would give him a harmony and counterpoint book in the hopes that it may inspire him to utilise some compositional technique! __________________________________________________ | |
