@gboy98 the written in time signature is 9/8 but it is conducted 3/2/2/2 in a 4 beat pattern

The film BQE is heavily inspired by the film Koyanisqaatsi. Which has music by Philip Glass. So ... answer, yes.

You should have more control over your orchestra. It's not about what they want you know.

Sufjan was trained at Interlochen, which is one of the world's best schools for young musicians. I didn't even go there for music (i attended for creative writing/poetry) and I ended up learning about music/visual art just from being there. I don't doubt that he has an incredible amount of musical knowledge, which I guess this title just prooves

I second this.

How would I go about getting the sheet music for this if my orchestra wanted to play it?
-
There's an obvious minimalist influence isn't there?

reminds me of steve reich
What neighborhood is Sufjan driving through? Sounds something like a cartoon mid-winter Jewish/Mexican traffic jam in which the road is frozen over and pink cheeked children pour out of the cars into choreographed rows of broadway dance, as filmed by Tim Burton in one super-expensive continuous shot.
in other words, totally awesome.
