Richard Gurein, who works for Glass, suggested I listen to this.

Wonderful. Charming, insightful, entertaining.

I've written 30 or so pieces on Glass' work over the years for many places including www.classical-music-review.org; www.culturevulture.net -- on Scott Hicks' doc on Glass and local production of Akhnaten -- NYC -based New Music Connoisseur, and www.sequenza21.com -- esp. my piece, The War Within, on Glass's SF Opera commission, Appomattox, and Glass Box, which my editor titled Mass Glass.

Writing piece for 12 Feb www.eBAR.com on Philip Glass Ensemble's 16 Feb SF performance Music in 12 Parts.

Keith Potter -- who wrote Four Musical Minimalists -- is, as Philip noted, an accurate ( and in my book superlative ) writer.

I would like to hear Mr. Galss discuss the connection between painters and musicians in the 60's and 70's...Brice Marden, Chuck Close. Also, the influence of Buddhism on his work.

The Glass Radio
...Ira Glass ("This American Life") is Philip Glass's first cousin once removed.

What is Mr. Glass's response to the Dogma 95 line that music has undermined film -- becoming a means of manipulating the audience? (The Dogma 95 group -- Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, et al.) have moved on from that position.)

What does Philip think of electronic musicians like Aphex Twin (Richard James) or Autechre? Philip's remix of Donkey Rhubarb by Aphex Twin is excellent.

I just checked the link to the GLASSWORKS and 3 segments of MISHIMA are listed. Can Philip talk about it briefly? Perhaps how he approaches writing scores for film?

Hearts of Space was that late night show.

Saw MISHIMA this weekend. Loved the Score!!! and the film in general.

Nothing against Philip Glass but we already have Soundcheck on at 2pm right after your show, so please focus more on segments like "under reported" and less on interviewing muscians / composers / etc. Personally I find it very repetitive (since Soundcheck is on next) and enjoy the other segments of your show much more.

I saw the film "Mishima" the other day. Easily the best soundtrack ever by Glass. Any soundtracks in Philip's future?
