Philip was born in 1937 in Baltimore, US. His style is mainly characterized as minimalistic, classical, experimental and symphonic. He is a very prolific composer, havinc produced soundtracks for films suchs as The Truman Show and The Hours.

One of his most recognizable scores though is Koyanisqaatsi: Life Out of Balance, which is a film with beautiful shots of the earth accompanied with music by Philip Glass. It's an art film, very educational, and it's the first of a trilogy. The images are in slow motion and time-lapse. I'ts a cult film and you should see it, and hear it!
