'Opening' - Part 1 of 'Glassworks' - Philip Glass:
'Glassworks is a chamber music work of six movements by Philip Glass. It is regarded as being a characteristically Glass-like work. Following his larger-scale concert and stage works, Glassworks was Philip Glass' successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented "Walkman-suitable" work, with considerably shorter and more accessible pieces written for the recording studio.'

"and as i stand still here, i prefer the stillness. i am tired of earth. i am tired of being caught in the tangles of these people's live."

My machine shop teacher turned me on to this in high school, he would put it on and jam at the lathe or mill. haha
I wonder why most machinists like music while they work.
He was a good teacher. Thanks for the music.

It looks so easy to play on paper, but keeping your right hand and left hand going at the right pace is proving very challenging for someone as out of practice at playing the piano as I am. I only wish I could sound half as good. It is truly one of my most favourite pieces of music, and I am a huge Philip Glass fan.

@olithestrangish Just found that out in a lecture myself, today.

Not too ruin anyone's fun here, but this uses ideas from Schumann's music to prove that emotions can be evoked without the writer feeling them. I think it's beautiful and moving, which proves him right. It's actually very cynical. Hurrah for music degree's.

Quite honestly, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. In a hundred years or so, there will be people who think the same as well.
Brings the emotions to the surface almost effortlessly. Mr. Glass, thank you for your music.

When I'm listening to this song, it's one of those rare moments when I'm proud to be a human being. Famine, war, hatred, anger, selfishness... but we are born beautiful beings loving beautiful things. One day computers will be able to create music but they will never be able to listen to it.
