Einstein On The Beach
ROBERT WILSON
Portrait Trilogy:Einstein; Akhnaten; Gandhi

.
Einstein on the Beach is an opera in four acts (framed and connected by five “knee plays” or intermezzos), scored by Philip Glass and directed by theatrical producer Robert Wilson. The opera eschews traditional narrative in favor of a formalist approach based on structured spaces laid out by Wilson in a series of storyboards. The music was written “in the spring, summer and fall of 1975.”Glass recounts the collaborative process: “I put [Wilson’s notebook of sketches] on the piano and composed each section like a portrait of the drawing before me. The score was begun in the spring of 1975 and completed by the following November, and those drawings were before me all the time.”

Songs from Liquid Days
Songs From Liquid Days became Philip Glass’ most popular and successful recording. The title holds the clue to the music’s accessibility: These are songs, providing a more familiar and comfortable format for appreciating the world of minimalism than Glass’ operas or instrumental pieces. Working with such lyrical collaborators as David Byrne and Suzanne Vega, he created art music which sounds radio friendly. There is also great variety displayed on this album.

Philip Glass

Akhnaten
Portrait Trilogy:Einstein; Akhnaten; Gandhi
According to the composer, this work is the culmination of his two other biographical operas, Einstein on the Beach (about Albert Einstein) and Satyagraha (about Mahatma Gandhi). These three people – Akhenaten, Einstein and Gandhi – were all driven by an inner vision which altered the age in which they lived, in particular Akhenaten in religion, Einstein in science, and Gandhi in politics.
The text, taken from original sources, is sung in the original languages, linked together with the commentary of a narrator in a modern language, such as English or German. Egyptian texts of the period are taken from a poem of Akhenaten himself, from the Book of the Dead, and from extracts of decrees and letters from the Amarna period, the seventeen-year period of Akhenaten’s rule. Other portions are in Akkadian and Biblical Hebrew. Akhnaten’s Hymn to the Sun is sung in the language of the audience.

Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
Dracula is one of Philip Glass’ many projects that involves adding music to classic films, the most effective of which is probably Cocteau’s La Belle et la Bête, which essentially turned Cocteau’s masterpiece into a stunning film opera. His music for Dracula exists in four versions: the original, for string quartet, recorded by the Kronos Quartet; an arrangement by the composer for string quartet and piano; and arrangements for the Philip Glass Ensemble and for solo piano, both made by Michael Riesman, who plays the solo version.

Philip Glass

with Allen Ginsberg
Hydrogen Jukebox
The creation of the chamber opera Hydrogen Jukebox can be traced to a chance meeting in 1988 between composer Philip Glass and poet Allen Ginsberg at the now defunct St. Mark’s Bookshop in New York City’s East Village. When Ginsberg plucked a book with a copy of his 1966 antiwar poem “Wichita Vortex Sutra” off the shelf and said he’d be reading it at a Broadway theater, Glass decided to compose a piano piece to accompany the reading. The collaboration was a success, so the two decided to expand the performance into a longer music-theater work. The result, Hydrogen Jukebox, a rarely performed piece for six voices and a chamber ensemble[…]

Koyaanisqatsi Godfrey Reggio
The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explains the lack of dialogue by stating “it’s not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It’s because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live.” In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means “unbalanced life”.

La Belle et la BêteGlass a eu l’idée de supprimer la bande sonore originale du film de Cocteau, y compris les voix des acteurs, pour replacer sa propre musique et les voix des chanteurs. Dans le but de faire correspondre à la perfection le chant avec les mouvements des lèvres des acteurs sur l’écran, il transcrivit l’intégralité des répliques et procéda à un repérage méticuleux afin que la musique épousât parfaitement l’image. Glass a ainsi chronométré chacun des mots des dialogues du film, par repérage électronique de la pellicule, et les a placés mathématiquement dans la partition puis a ensuite synchronisé musique et film à l’aide d’un ordinateur qui, chargé de trier les retards et les avancées des paroles dites et chantées, recalcula les signaux numériques de la bande audio sur le circuit numérisé du film.

Glenn Branca

Lesson Nº 1 + The Ascension
Glenn Branca has always been a musician positioned halfway between the role of avant-garde composer and that of a rock musician. A pupil and disciple of the masters of American minimalism such as La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Philip Glass and Steve Reich, he has always had to fight against prejudice and fierce criticism. His position was certainly uncomfortable, too academic for rock fans and too “politically incorrect” for academics. In fact, Branca was trying to unhinge all the limits imposed by the rigid schemes of the avant-garde, aware of the fact that those who want to be truly avant-garde should have no limits. John Cage was also able to criticize him, even calling him a fascist ( Luciano Berio also did so for all minimalists) for the excessive rigidity of his compositions, even though he recognized his innovative power. After having created his best known album, The Ascension (1981), a true monument of maximalism played with a classical rock formation (guitars, bass and drums), he tries to approach a different format, the Symphony, as always halfway between rock and academia. Branca will like the experiment and will re-propose it several times in the following decades, to date there are sixteen symphonies (not all recordings are available). Here is how young Branca’s ensemble appeared to the American composer John Adams in one of his first live performances of the First Symphony: “Branca’s event that I listened to at the Japan Center Theater in San Francisco in 1981 was one of his symphonies for guitar . The group didn’t look very different from thousands of other independent or alternative rock bands of the time: guys in jeans and worn t-shirts busy with cables while maintaining that typical distracted expression of rock musicians.

Atmospheric Reentry

Die Atmospheric Reentry Collection untersucht die Bedingungen und Formen des Ätherischen. Ausgehend von der einfachen Frage, wie es sich anfühlt, eine Wolke zu tragen, hat Maiko Takeda eine Reihe skulpturaler Kopf- / Körperteile geschaffen, die die Grenzen des umgebenden Raums für den Träger verwischen und versuchen, die traditionellen Erwartungen an Kopfbedeckungen zu übertreffen. Die Ästhetik der Sammlung ist inspiriert von der futuristischen Stimmung von Ton und Bild, die aus Robert Wilsons 1976er Produktion von Philip Glass ‘Oper Einstein on the Beach stammt. Maiko bevorzugt die Verwendung unkonventioneller Materialien, wobei jedes Stück eine sorgfältige Zusammenstellung von Hunderten von stacheligen federähnlichen Einheiten aus klaren Acrylscheiben, farblich abgestuftem Film und silbernen Biegeringen darstellt, die sich auffächern, um eine Dichte und Leichtigkeit zu erreichen Umgeben Sie den Träger mit einem bunten, leuchtenden Dunst.
