Maya Beiser x Philip Glass
In her fourteenth album, “Maya Beiser x Philip Glass,” cellist, arranger, and producer Maya Beiser creates a multi-layered sound sculpture with her cello, unveiling new dimensions in some of Philip Glass’s most powerful and achingly beautiful works In 2005 Philip Glass invitedMaya to performthe solo cello part to his “Naqoyqatsi” score on aworldwide tour of the Qatsi trilogy. They performed together, with the PhilipGlass ensemble, in many of the world’s greatest venues, including the Sydney Opera House, the World Expo in Nagoya, an ancient Romanamphitheater in France, and a Greek amphitheaterin Barcelona. The seeds for this album were planted during that time. Maya says: “In making this album, I searched for layers of sound that might reveal something new about Glass’s ingenious creative power. I was thinking about stratum, the layering that occurs in most sedimentary rocks formed at the Earth’s surface. I imagined the layers of my cello becoming porous and Glass’s music flowing vociferously through each layer, like lava, endlessly creating new patterns, expanding into the landscape.”
