Philip Glass - Prelude Refrain, Verse 1, Verse 2

Philip Glass's #Akhnaten Met rerun again reminds me of an old 'sun with rays' image when they get to the light 'pipes' during Window of Appearances.

Made around 7.12.2016 based on pic. It was originally meant for a snowflake design, but as if I wanted that when getting the idea it'd suit a sun as well. Colours & life for me.

We had old slightly warped wood at that place so that got used for bases for paintings otherwise. All semi-fitting Egyptian themes.

If you can catch the recording of The Met's Akhnaten opera, do.

Especially if feeling like going to church/temple. Or if you want to appreciate the stunning visual of Akhenaten, Nefertiti + his mother Tye in front of the sun, for one.

Philip Glass: Akhnaten - The Window of Appearances

YouTube

It‘s #Koyaanisqatsi o‘clock. O‘Day. Ach Quatsch, O‘Month.

So wie #akhnaten, dass ich fast ein ganzes Jahr lang gehört habe. Nichts anderes.

I have The Window of Appearances from the opera #Akhnaten going through my head rn, and it’s very annoying because I forgot my headphones so I can’t listen to it until I get home.

Akhnaten is awesome, btw, and peak Philip Glass. It’s one of my favorite operas.

Uff, ich glaube, diese Oper hat mich das erste Mal in meinem Leben hypnotisiert. 😳 #akhnaten

Well, Akhnaten is a fascinating and hypnotic theatrical experience that I'll be thinking about for a while to come. Anthony Roth Constanzo gives an extraordinary lead performance and the skills team from Improbable display some highly technical, even virtuosic, juggling prowess!
