The Creative Pulse: A Conversation with Philip Glass 

Conversation actually begins around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="740">12:20</a>.

What is funny (or not so) with YT is that the number of views has NOTHING to do with the quality of the content of the videos - in fact this is the contrary. Thank you for making us less stupid by sharing these videos.

100 percent facts when it comes to editing and music. At least for me.

Glass doesnt let the attention go to head, great quality about the interview... people like to treat him like he's god...

That part where the girl explains how playing some pieces takes her to some deep meditative state which you need in order to play them, and Glass is like "Yeah, well you need to pay attention, if mediation is paying attention for you, it´ll work". I liked that. Young people and their magical land vs. old with their feet firmly on the ground.

thats my grandpa!

This is a great interview, music nerds know

How Phillip glass has not been sampled yet is BEYOND me

Claire Chase is wonderful with the amazing Music in the shape of a Square, you never want to end , just like their interview ♥♥

The question about collaboration led to a beautiful distillation (around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="65">1:05</a>:00) -- "Text, music, movement, image ... All collaboration comes from that" -- Trust

Awesome!

Very good. Excellent.

preramble lasts 12 minutes. glass & chase start at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="740">12:20</a>

Thanks so much for sharing:)

Thanks for the intro, Mayor of Who-ville. Nahhhhh but this is great.

is it a price tag on the bottom of her shoe?

The music that’s not mine, should not be playing, i don’t know if SoundCloud is doing it or some other person that i liked😮😂and then selected “follow”, and somehow this person was able to stick it to me.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="6">0:06</a> That's quite a quaff... your tuition at work!

Interviewers and journalists have been remiss in not asking Philip Glass a very important question. Does he or does he not know that his work Itaipu celebrates an ecological disaster? The Itaipu Dam, constructed on the Paraná River without any public input during the Brazilian military dictatorship, drowned forever, upriver from the dam project, a spectacular series of waterfalls called in Portuguese Sete Quedas (Seven Falls). These falls had an even larger volume of water than the famous Iguaçu Falls. While in Brazil where he visited Itaipu and was wined and dined by Brazilian television soap opera stars, Glass apparently made no attempt to learn about the environmental impacts of the project. Brazil's most famous poet of the time, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, wrote a poem that was an elegy to the forever lost natural wonder that the clueless composer disregarded.

How much did Nadia Boulanger charge her students? I Love Philip Glass mostly his earlier music but it's often kind of odd -- his story sometimes seems kind of strange. Like don't people have to try out for Juilliard or be accepted? Wasn't it pretty expensive? It sounds like you just said I want to study here and they said okay. I thought it had a great reputation going back at least to the 1950s. Nadia was also probably very well known when he studied with her.

koyanisqatsi and watchmen!

Enjoy some trolling here: Top three reasons there's not another flute player for the piece: 3. No one could possibly play this piece but Claire Chase. 2. Claire Chase can only play this piece with a recording of herself -- in order to 'get it right'. 1. Claire Chase can't find anyone who can put up with her pretentious, pixie-dancing, ego-maniacal, not-a-very-good-listener, self-centered, yet very good but soul-less playing. Maybe it's all three, but I'm pretty sure someone else could play the piece. I've done it, but I'd never received a MacArthur fellowship...damn...

she is pretentious and just an odd choice as an interlocutor for Phillip, it would have been a more interesting conversation if he was speaking with someone from his generation

Ms. Chase is pushy. pretentious, and bor-ing, but has she ever heard of Furtwangler and what gave to music and would she ever get through lessons with Mlle Boulanger and ":become " a 2012 MacArthur Fellow ?
