Glass engine

February 13, 2004

Glass engine is an amazing introduction to the music of Phillip Glass. It’s an IBM research project that makes you able to navigate more than 60 of his works.

The works are not only categorized according to ensemble types such as solo chamber opera etc. but also according to more subjective categories: joy sorrow intensity density and velocity. Values within these categories were assigned by Philip Glass’s longtime producer and sound designer Kurt Munkacsi.
