Philip Glass REWORK App 10th Anniversary Re-release
Celebrating Philip Glass’ 85th Birthday
Our groundbreaking music app REWORK_ (Philip Glass Remixed) has been updated and re-released today for Philip Glass' 85th Birthday celebration and the app’s tenth anniversary. This interactive “app album” takes the incredible REWORK remix album made in collaboration with Beck and gives it a feature-length interactive visual treatment.
REWORK_ features eleven “music visualizers” that take the remixed tracks and create interactive visuals that range from futuristic three-dimensional landscapes to shattered multicolored crystals, and vibrating sound waves. People can lean back and enjoy REWORK_ like a Philip Glass feature movie, or they can touch and interact with the visualizers to create their own visual remixes.
In addition to the visualizers, the app includes the “Glass Machine” which lets people create music inspired by Philip Glass' early work by simply sliding two discs around side-by-side, almost like a DJ’s turntables. People can select different instruments – from synthesizer to piano, and generate polyrhythmic counterpoints between the two melodies.
The REWORK_ app features interactive audiovisual mixes by critically acclaimed musicians and remix artists including Beck, Tyondai Braxton, Amon Tobin, Corneliusofficial, Dan Deacon, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nosaj Thing, Memory Tapes, Silver Alert, My Great Ghost, and Peter Broderick.
