I spent some time on Christmas watching Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and yesterday, the topic of Philip Glass came up in conversation, and with both on my mind, I was reminded of the piece above. Philip Glass is a great American composer who is still composing in present day. If you’re not familiar with him, start by watching Koyaanisqatsi.
Scored by Onishi Yoshito, Ohashi Takashi animated this beautiful graphic representation of the music. Watch the video and follow along as it takes you through the evolution of the musical landscape. There’s something organic about the piece that I can’t place. Doesn’t it remind you of maneuvering your little petal through the worlds of Flower?
