Beck, Tyondai Braxton, Amon Tobin to Contribute to Philip Glass Remix CD

Artists such as Beck, Tyondai Braxton, Amon Tobin, Cornelius, Johann Johannsson, Nosaj Thing, Memory Tapes, and Silver Alert will contribute to a new CD celebrating the work of Philip Glass. The album will be released by Orange Mountain Music on October 23.

Produced by Hector Castillo, the disc will feature a collection of remixes of Glass’ works. The release has been timed to coincide with the celebration of Glass’ 75th birthday season, which, as previously reported, will consist of a series of performance and events across the globe.

Glass has written such operas as Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha, In the Penal Colony, Icarus and the Edge of Time, and The Voyage. In addition, he has written original music for the Public Theater’s productions of The Bacchae, Woyzeck, Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2, and Cymbeline. He was also a founding member of Mabou Mines and is penning a memoir, due out this year.
