Description
Available with Vinyl records London. Red Vinyl Vinyl Records Double Vinyl Philip Glass Naqoyqatsiis the third and final film in theQatsitrilogy, meaning “life as war”. About eighty percent ofNaqoyqatsiuses archive footage and stock images manipulated and processed digitally on nonlinear editing workstations and intercut with specially produced computergenerated imagery to demonstrate society’s transition from a natural environment to a technologybased one. Just like its predecessorsKoyaanisqatsiandPowaqqatsi,the music was composed by Philip Glass. Performed by members of the Philip Glass Ensemble, and featuring the amazing YoYo Ma on cello, this completes the lengthy score which was begun for this film series with “Koyaanisqatsi” in 1982. The music is more in the traditional orchestral tradition than much of Glass’s work as a familiar doorway to images so disconnected from the familiar world. One instrument, the cello, plays through much of the piece. Some unconventional instruments are used in addition to traditional ones, including a didgeridoo and an electronically created jaw harp.Naqoyqatsiis available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve and contains an 8page booklet.
