Philip Glass – Solo Piano (Black & White Marble Vinyl) Supply

With Solo Piano, Philip Glass presents himself unplugged – no electronic keyboards or synthesizers, and no overdubs, either – just solo piano. Metamorphosis was written in 1988 and takes its name from a play based on Kafka s short story. Its second track, 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. Mad Rush was written for the occasion of the Dalai Lama s first visit in New York City. Wichita Vortex Sutra is the result of a chance meeting between two long-time friends, Glass and poet Allen Ginsberg, in a bookstore in the East Village. We decided on the spot to do something together, reached for one of Allen s books, and chose the poem Wichita Vortex Sutra , Glass noted. Colored 180g vinyl LP with 8-page booklet.
