In which year was this piece composed?

This must be the 2017 revision of this work rather than the original version from 2015.

I guess this is the 2015 version rather than the 2017 revision.

Really beautiful recording - wish more people get to listen to /watch this song & interview. Thanks for sharing!

Is this the biggest pile of musical crap or what? Such pretentious "Emperor's New Clothes."

Over to our right, you can see Bryce Dessner - lead guitarist from The National - working in his day job.

I need someone to explain this 💀

Just heard this on our classical station in Columbus, Ohio (WOSU). Really interesting change from the big, orchestral music normally associated with classical. One of the things I noticed, as someone not raised or very knowledge of classical music beyond the big pieces/composers, is that I can hear bits and pieces that translate to other modern genres. At about the 5:50 mark, the mandolin (I think) plays notes not dissimilar to progression Trent Reznor would write for Nine Inch Nails, an industrial/electronic band that incorporates organic instruments. Other parts reminded me of the soundtrack work Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead has done for Paul Thomas Anderson on films like There Will Be Blood, or Junkie XL on Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa. I guess if you need all your music in straightforward 4/4, verse/chorus/verse doses, this is too far outside the box, but I found it really interesting.

When were hockets outlawed or banned, (mentioned at around 4:25 in the video) I could find no references for this. - Thank you in advance for your reply.

It's a shame it's not all played live (a bass and a drum)

The coolest image I've even seen of Mr. Riley. And love the harpsichord soloing, a keyboard he didn't often use after "A Rainbow..."

Listen this amazing concert with my big brother Pedro Canhão under the blankets

The sounds of the airport add another layer of randomness. I don't thinjk a better ambient album exists.

Horrendous.

Sublime ❤

I used to work at Merrill Lynch and had lunch under those palm trees every day. Saw many concerts in there like Robert Fripp, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Pauline Oliveros, etc. Knew Glenn back in the days of Static and T_Girls. His 100 guitar piece Hallucination City outside on the plaza is the best thing he ever did.

Kudos to the drummer for his stamina. Also, for the guitarists for keeping up with the rapid strumming. As a composition, well, there's a bit too much repetition for my tastes. The constant 4/4 meter with little contrast in dynamics or color became a little boring. Perhaps, if I had been as drunk as the conductor it would have been more interesting.

o.0, excelente

Absolutely beautiful. Magnificent. The human mind and soul depicted in music form

Excellent performance!!

Everybody has a tough job in this piece, but the harpist really has her work cut out for her.

Where can i see these recordings? absolutely stunning

Beautiful! Sitting in the sun, having a coffee Mind wandering .

Génial

03:58 off stage 07:50 II, musical saw 11:23 III 15:55 toy piano

Pretty good and I'm very critical.

Is Steve Reich djent tho

I have heard enough from the circle bang on a can has devolved into a sell out, only programming old fart minimalist composers from the last century, and other than that it is just a bunch of second rate indie rock and DJing what the fuck happened to yall? you guys are not edgy anymore

First time I've heard this, where have I been, slow motion joy, sublime!

A load of shite

I'd rather mow my lawn...and my neighbors lawn, than particpate in that clusterfuck.

I could listen to this for a decade 100😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Music to my ears 👍👍👍👍👍

This is a very valuable observation on a composer and artist who are sadly - largely overlooked now - 2 years later in 2024 - or so it seems. How long will it take relevant media to regard and record 2020 as the "Dark Age" of the the 21st Century ? Perhaps the first of what may be , unfortunately the first of a series of Dark Ages many, where the world loses its humanity of connection. You Tube shows so many videos of artists and audiences in masks from this time . Happily that is not in evidence here. We should treasure it. Perhaps our future generations will. For now, thank you Cleveland.

La música de Philip Glass empezó a ser conocida fuera de E.U. hacia mediados de los años ochenta. Han pasado 40 años y veo con alegría que las nuevas generaciones la han hecho suya, la disfrutan y la reinterpretan a su manera. Si mi generación no la conoció o no la disfrutó, es una pena por ella, pero por fortuna están estos jóvenes que la harán permanecer.

brings me back home.shall I dare say, the universe as one and one as being human and part of all what we share together . Robbie Jackson

This is what happen when u don't practice your instrument

Amazing!

PHILIP GLASS.....WITHIN THE CLOUDS. AND THE PURE MASTERY OF THE MUSICIANS..... ON ANOTHER LEVEL....AS IF THEY LIVE IN THE MUSIC 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🕊✨️🙌💙🙏💚🙏💙🙏🙌✨️🦋

This guy, PG, is seriously exploring the deep sadness and inevitability of existence, yet also the ineffable beauty in life. This superb interpretation brings all these amazing qualities to the fore. Performed with such respect and sensitivity. As a feature film composer, I expect to hear this track in future temped to films I will be working on…. 🤩Perfect film music - deep, transcendentally emotional, sonically rich… Very very moving!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Indescribably exquisite. Superbly played, emotionally heartbreaking.
