It is the first of eight performances at the Barbican and part of a major international tour. Glass and Wilson recently spoke with the Guardian about the making of the piece and were interviewed on BBC Radio 4's Today. Philip Glass is featured in The Fader's Icon Issue, which includes Wilson's reflections on Einstein on the Beach, an oral history of Glass's work, a look at his legacy, a photo essay of recent Glass performances around the world, and an interview with the composer.

About this Album
Powaqqatsi, Geoffrey Reggio's 1988 wordless visual essay on "life in transition," the second in a cinematic trilogy, anticipated the looming problems of globalization on the natural landscape. Glass matches Reggio's stunning imagery with music of "convincing grandeur," says the New York Times.
