Hello all,
Would love to share with you some of the most moving music ever made. Though I haven't listed the song that I will be bringing on Tuesday, all of these are by the same composer and anything he does, I love. I genuinely feel a rush at the top of my stomach listening to Metamorphosis 1, and the Hymn at Amenhoteps Funeral came on to my MP3 player whilst walking around tesco recently and it caused a similar affect on my attitude to that of death metal; suddenly I had a group of soldiers walking in step with and everyone had to move or be crushed by the devastating wheels of my doom trolley.
Joking aside, this music is transportive, imersive and, with each track seeming to have a narrative, almost a life, it is also intensely beautiful and emotional. I am not afraid to admit that when I first heard a track by Philip Glass i both wept and felt an enormous rush of power; this music is as relevant to me as a heartbeat.
Here are two videos. One for "Metamorphosis Part one" and the other for "dead things", there is also a link to Amenhotep's funeral, though please ignore the video as I think it is something to do with meercats...oddly. Enjoy.
