For those of you who don’t like animated films that much, here’s another post.
I’ve recently been addicted to this track by Philip Glass, which is the opening of his opera Akhnaten. It’s strange. I really shouldn’t like Philip Glass – to a large extent, he embodies everything I don’t like in music, but so often when I hear a new piece, I respond to it on an instinctive level. I suppose it goes to show that, no matter how much we try to apply objectivity and reason to art, it is, ultimately, something to which we must bring subjectivity, and some part of ourselves. I get lost in the swirling, hypnotic arpeggios of Philip Glass, and this track seems particularly good. The declamations at the end always make me smile.
