I listened and I was transfixed. The music was dynamic and colorful and mysterious all at once, and it put me in mind of the Zen exercise of sitting before a blank wall and contemplating the question, What is this? Its music that seems to go beyond music. It doesnt just stay with you, it infuses and energizes and haunts you, and carries a sense of being alive, a perception of existence itself, the rhythm of living this life. Philips music has come to mean more and more to me as the years have gone by. I was excited to work with Philip on Kundun, and he exceeded my wildest expectations by giving us a score that was genuinely transcendent. Hes exceeded my expectations again with this rich and beautifully written memoir. Who knew that he was as good a writer as he is a composer? Author Biography Born in Baltimore in 1937, Philip Glass studied at the University of Chicago and the Juilliard School.
