These days I would pick a movie to see based on who did or contributed to its soundtrack. Glass, Zimmer, Richter, and Preisnser, in particular.
Some of Glass' work transposes well to other instruments, but a real extra gift to the world would be if he wrote a guitar suite.
I've been hacking around with a classical guitar arrangement of Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel," and might see if Glass' new "The Teacher" is more amenable, as it's very much an homage about 1/3 the length and complexity.

- motohagiography 6y agoHuge fan of these, and they were part of what inspired me to take up guitar again. Highly recommend. There is a fellow who does "Metamorphosis" as well, and it was one of the first pieces I learned. edit: Thomas Csaba performing the complete Metamorphosis : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMyQM589Kbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMyQM589Kbs

- natechols 6y agoI thought the combination of Zimmer's score and Nolan's editing in Dunkirk basically turned it into an enormous minimalist composition - I mean that in the best possible way.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoI would say Zimmer (and also Ramin Djawadi) have some very obvious Glass influence in a fair amount of their work.
