The very simple chord progressions are given character by the extraordinary flexing of the time signature. The way that low bass note comes in a little earlier than convention would dictate is a little unsettling, yet very beautiful. That for me is the essence of Glass - the unexpected within a conventional, minimalist framework.

Listening to this, my soul cries out in utter euphoria as though it were undeserving of this godly music.

Electric - or perhaps more fittingly electrifying - are the sounds emanating from the loudspeakers.  And all of it is unplugged.  The sounds are created by sonic.art - not only one of the finest saxophone quartets but also perhaps the most compelling chamber music formation anywhere. Featuring works by Philip Glass and Michael Nyman.

Philip Glass turns 75, and I’d like to share my solo piano performance of his masterpiece written about 35 years ago: the main theme from Einstein on the Beach. Our intellect refuses to accept the shocking simplicity of the Absolute. We keep searching for something "really serious" and elaborate. By playing this music today I want to say that ultimate wisdom is very simple. Happy birthday Philip!
