Glass: a portrait of Philip in twelve parts

中文片名是: 菲利普葛拉斯12樂章

四顆星推薦~~好看啦
看完會對這名怪才對音樂的執著
以及對人生的態度有更深入的了解

從另一個角度
與其說葛拉斯是個音樂家
倒覺得他比較像建築師或物理學家(研究分子疊幢架屋一堆理論架構的那種)
嗯~~也很像數學家

很腰瘦的一張照片














片中藝術家Chuck Close 形容葛拉斯的 Medusa-like hair














同場加映
Philip Glass & Leonard Cohen 一起合作的有聲書 Book of Longing
實體劇碼明年三月初來台國家劇院演出
聽說兩枚老人會連袂來台哩, 拭目以待~~













聽殺死人的魅力老先生吟誦Prologue - I Can't Make The Hills

The Book of Longing

I can't make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank God

I followed the course
From chaos to art
Desire the horse
Depression the cart

I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock
But time is long gone
Past my laughing stock

My page was too white
My ink was too thin
The day wouldn't write
What the night pencilled in

My animal howls
My angel's upset
But I'm not allowed
A trace of regret

For someone will use
What I couldn't be
My heart will be hers
Impersonally

She'll step on the path
She'll see what I mean
My will cut in half
And freedom between

For less than a second
Our lives will collide
The endless suspended
The door open wide

Then she will be born
To someone like you
What no one has done
She'll continue to do

I know she is coming
I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the book
