From Wichita Vortex Sutra, Philip Glass

[MrHydriotaphia]

Amazing how many people commenting here don't recognise America's greatest 20th century poet or his close artistic collaboration/friendship with Glass.

[gregoriomuzzi]

Molto bella questa composizione musicale...

[TheVoxNihili]

"this Act done by my own voice, nameless Mystery, published to my own senses, blissfully received by my own form, approved with pleasure by my sensations, manifestation of my very thought, accomplished in my own imagination, all realms within my consciousness fulfilled..."

[secretsocietyof]

this is like the best song ever made.

[rocknrollsam]

Incredible! Thank you so much.

Is there any way you could post a download link of this audio file? Does anyone out there have one?

[nexticeage]

[stereomorphic]

greatest thing I ever heard.  have been looking for this recording for years - thansk so much for posting it and verifying this is Phillip Glass on piano!!!

[philiplawton]

This is a brilliant piece of music, so glad it's on youtube, and with such an amazing video. I'm honestly so glad that there's this very static image (what is it?) and not a collection of transitioning images selected by some idiotic editor with a macbook.

[Slippinginar]

This is phenomenal!

[astrosplif]

This is one of my favorite pieces of music. The poetry is amazing.
