On Sat Apr 19, the Philip Glass Ensemble will return to the Town Hall to perform Glass' score for NAQOYQATSI, Godfrey Reggio's visionary 3rd installment of the Qatsi trilogy following Koyaanisqatsi (1982) and Powaqqatsi (1988). The film explores a world in transition, as natural ways of life give way to societies built on code, rocketships, love of money, and (in the original Hopi that lends the film its title), "civilized violence" �: thetownhall.co/NaqoyqatsiQR - Philip Glass writes "Reggio turns to a visual language heavily dependent on digital, synthesized images. With this film, the “civilized violence” in the narrative of the film goes beyond anything seen in the two preceding films. In this case, I chose a contrasting language for the music, composing music for a large (acoustic) symphonic ensemble featuring a solo cello throughout. My instinct was to balance the quite startling effect of the synthetically composed images with a sound world of “natural” timbres. Furthermore, the solo cello – played superbly by YoYo Ma – quickly emerges as the “voice” of the music, lending the score an overall human dimension." The orchestra provides some kind of entrance, like a doorway, into the film. I feared that if the piece were too abstract people wouldn’t connect with it. For that reason, I went with a very acoustic, symphonic piece that could be played by a real human orchestra." (from Philip Glass / philipglass.com) (fb)
