'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.'

It's actually not offset time signatures. The piece is in 4/4. The challenge comes in playing triplets over eighth notes. The right hand is playing triplets while the left plays eighth notes. It's a pretty easy piece once you get the timing down, and it's magnificent.

Because you are over sensitive.

It's beautiful, it's up to the heart ... Phillip Glass is amazing :)

Try Metamorphosis.

[Alex Swanson]

Well, it is a poly rhythm. The exact term is a hemiola, and it's one of my favorites. You should try Light by Glass, it's got the same sort of thing going on, except it's an entire orchestra.

[Adam Berger]

Try some Satie perhaps?

I've actually found a piece of Minimalist music that I quite like... Reminiscent of Einaudi :)

[Elias Medina]

thanks =)

[Pendor42]

Would that make it sound like a poly rhythm?

[Jeremy Stun]

Have you ever heard about Ludovico Einaudi? It isn't exactly the same music style, but I think you will enjoy his music.

[MrHooLee]

you may not get many responses to this question because there probably is not a lot of piano music with an atmosphere like this! what an awesome piece...

[Prosper0h]

Does anybody recommend any piano music with an atmosphere similar to this one ? So relaxing…
