This is awesome, and I remember watching this as a kid! Thanks for the great post. I can’t wait to introduce my baby daughter to this kind of thing.

This would be awesome with fractals! (That’s a sentence I don’t think I’ve ever used before).

For the folks who want more Philip Glass for free… check out the link in my name. Should take you to a free download at Amazon for a Philip Glass MP3 sampler. I think the offer is still valid.

I recall this creeping me out as a kid.

Chris, I really dig your posts. You are absolutely one of the reasons I visit MF repeatedly throughout my day. Thanks.

Kate – if you want a good intro to Glass’s music, check out either the “Koyaanisqatsi” soundtrack (pretty intense — may be a bit too much) or his “Solo Piano” album (good moody piano music, also useful for studying/working).

The latter was featured in Battlestar Galactica briefly, when we see Kara’s apartment and her “father’s” piano music is played — it’s actually Glass’s “Solo Piano.”

Oh wow! I remember this! I remember thinking the designs made were really cool, and being completely captivated by the music. I had no idea that was Philip Glass; the only introduction I’ve had to him is when South Park made fun of his music.

Wow, I had no idea this was Philip Glass.
I loved this as a kid.

Ken – yup, this would have been done right around the same time he was doing the Koyaanisqatsi score. K is one of my favorites of all time!
