Philip Glass - Metamorphosis (1988)
I made this record using an old amazing (one of my favorite instrument actually) Steinway & Sons model O grand piano. (Steinway officially stopped production of the Model O in 1924, but I guess this one was built around 1925-1926 according to serial number)
"Metamorphosis One" - 00:00
"Metamorphosis Two" - 06:54
"Metamorphosis Three" - 13:59
"Metamorphosis Four" - 19:09
"Metamorphosis Five" - 26:29
///
Starting today, Metamorphosis are available in all major streaming services*
Listen / Love / Share: album.link/T6mHCbPks7X4w
"Metamorphosis", refers to and was inspired by the 1915 short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. While all pieces were written in 1988, some were written for a staging of Metamorphosis, while others were for a documentary film called The Thin Blue Line directed by Errol Morris.
"Metamorphosis One" is played in an episode of Battlestar Galactica by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Within the narrative, her father composed and performed the piece. It is also played in the series finale of Person of Interest, Return 0. "Metamorphosis Two" formed the basis of one of the main musical themes in the film The Hours. It is also the song that the American rock band Pearl Jam uses as their introduction music to concerts.
*I prepared this release to celebrate 4 million streams of this composition in my interpretation on RU-vid (a bit late though, because the number of views has grown since then). After several unlucky attempts to make this recording on different instruments and in different studios I returned to the same living room and the same piano - Steinway & Sons model O made in 1926. I can not possibly explain this, but despite all the obvious technical obstacles that stand before you while recording in a regular room, with all the uncontrolled reflections, with the old piano in poor condition which makes you suffer a lot, with all the additional vibrations, rattling strings, hammers that require voicing, with a creaking chair - it turns out to be exactly how I perceive this music. So, one piano, 2 microphones, beloved Philip Glass, and my personal story with the place where this record session took place.

In 1980 I worked selling toe shoes for ballet dancers in New York City. One Saturday morning this guy comes in and asked for some shoes for his daughter's ballet class. We engaged in conversation about music and he invited me to see him play the piano the next day afternoon in a concert to raise funds for Tibet. It was in a church around the store where I worked. That is how I met Philip Glass. Ironically what impacted me when I saw him arriving on stage that Sunday afternoon, was that he was wearing old blue jeans and a working man's shirt. It was a total new way for me to be around a "classical" environment

I hope the music gave her peace. I played Rachmaninoff for my aging grandmother in her last days. she was being given a lot of morphine and my playing helped her slip into the oblivion. she could let go by the end of the piece. I guess she had never heard The Prelude of the Bells before.

I discovered his music in 2008 when I was 14. On an autumn afternoon, It was a very overcast rainy day in Los Angeles and I looked out my window to see the skyline gradually disappear into the dense rainy clouds. The rain was cold and when I opened the window I can smell it and feel the gusts of wind blowing in. Again, I listened to this album in Washington D.C. and Virginia on a very grey and rainy afternoon as I rode past the Potomac river and all the large government buildings - the music emphasizing the gravitas of their brutalist architecture. But for some reason it made me think of rainy days in New York before 9/11. So grey, cold, wet and melancholy, yet so beautiful and ethereal. A chilly nostalgia rains on me when I listen to this.

Many of you probably are aware already but Glass was commissioned by a Brazilian ballet company to compose the score for a production called "Aguas da Amazonia" Portions of Metamorphosis were interwoven into that score. It was performed by the acoustic ensemble Uakti and can found on their album 'Glass: Aguas Da Amazonia'

I originally came for the reason that Person of Interest played this song. Now each time whenever I play this song, it has a new meaning. I lost almost all of my friends, I changed schools, my love cheated on me, I had issues with my mom, continuing problems with my father; I broke and I wept for almost an hour. On one windy and cloudy afternoon as I was listening to Metamorphosis 5, I realized something. I realized that I don't really need to worry about all those friends I've lost, because in the end they never cared. Losing my best friend hurt, because all that happened was that I was being pushed away. I lost my other best friend, because he thought I was trying to "get at" him. I've lost a few family members, and a place where I thought was safe is just as bad as I thought - maybe even worse. Playing this song was a bit emotional for me, but also helpful; for the reason that I got to relive some of the memories that helped me. It sucks because majority of those friends helped shape me, my father is just someone who will never grow up and always stay in the past. I will grow and move, and since they're no longer with me, it has to be without them

I hate hearing repetitive sounds, but this song makes me calm rather than mad. I discovered him because of our group project, it doesn't feel like one cause i did most of the work it's about a research about composers of the 20th century and i was like "why not search up their songs for reference?" Glad i did cause the songs of the composers I've heard so far is into my likings. I've always liked listening to solo piano songs but i didn't expect to love it this much, it reminds me of the time when i wanted to study how to play piano but couldn't cause it's expensive and my top priority back then was to get high grades so even if i could've afforded it i wouldn't be able to study it anyways. I hope somewhere near or even if it's far from the future i hope i could study how to play piano and play beautiful songs like this too. I mean it's never too late to learn new things

He clearly inspired some of the best contemporary composers tho. Might be worth more to him than "attention" they don't all do art to flatter their ego. He's not your "struggling artist" he's vastly regarded as one of the most influential musician of the late 20th. He chose minimalism. He studied at Julliard and even got a Fullbright scholarship so i guess professionals perceived his potential and through the decades his talent as been recognized all over world as he got to work with many many operas, symphonic ensemble and artists. Bottom line is...have some fucking respect the man's a legend not a mainstream candyman.

Glass's whole musical world is that of the mesmerist. From the first, his work completely captured me. The Photographer was my introduction. I have continued to be mesmerized by his work, and how it has developed over so many years. Yes, some of the work does not reach the best of him -- The Tirol Concerto, etc. But his prolific output, when listened to in progression shows that he is truly one of our great composers. From classical compositions to film scores, he intrigues every time. At least this listener. Yes, it is work that needs attention -- close attention to its subtle but very real changes. But would you call Monet repetitive? Not if you actually see the those magnificent lilies in front of you. For me, it is the same with Glass. He does for my ear what Monet does for my eyes. If one listens closely, you can't help hearing the influence of Chopin's 'Nocturnes' in this work. His classical training is obvious. This video is even more compelling to watch because of all the hand work -- you can see the composition become visually alive. It's a superb performance.

This is full of win!

As wood ages, it gets drier and drier and this causes the cell walls shrink even further. This shrinkage and loss of even more water (wood is put into a dry box before building an instrument to get it down to 7%) allows the sound waves to travels even better along the woodgrain. This is why older instruments sound better and better with age.

Music that saturates my emotions with memory and some regrets. Deeply moving and the reason why music -along with poetry- is an almost divine activity. I think of Rilke. I think of Yeats. Glass clarifies their imagery.

Rilke is really something isn't he? I've learned so much from his poetry and prose. I love that interpretation of Glass' piano as a form of their imagery. Have you ever read Robert Boy? Probably most influenced by Rilke and Yeats in many ways.

Poetry is very different to music, however, in that its emotional impact is more often than not due to a more or less conscious interpretation of the words rather than the inherent musicality in the words and their rhythms. The latter can enhance the emotions but are seldom the main carrier of them unless you pick words only for their musicality and not for their semantic content, put them together in a repetitive pattern until you forget what the word might have originally meant and just experience the rhythm and melody of them, which would be a poetic equivalence of a Glass piece, I guess. I don't know of any poets who makes such poetry, though I am sure there would be some who do.

I had no idea who I was meeting back in 1989 on a train from Amsterdam to Berlin when I met PhillipGlass and his musicians...they were playing in Berlin and invited us to come see the show for free....VIP tickets...really?!, we were backpackers.....It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of our journey And now I see just how influential he was beyond his own work. It seems to me he also instilled a similar passion in Nils Frahm, who to this day I am enthralled with too. So beautiful to experience such passion in the artistry of music!

With today being Veterans Day I listened to Adagio for Strings, op11 by Samuel Barber. It was performed by a pianist who conducted it on September 15th 2001. I saw it live on TV from London in 2001. Its on you tube. I cried my eyes out. Then right after that video a pianist named Nobuuki Tsujii wrote and composed "Elegy for the victims of the Tsuami of March 11, 2011. It was so sad and he cried throughout the whole song as tears dripped down on his piano keys. And now I find Philip Glass. Piano solos have so much feeling and yes these are sad yet beautiful. 11/11/2017
