Something kept me from posting my thoughts and feelings on The Truman Show
for a good while. I don't really know why, but I didn't like how it kept
coming out on the screen.
Then, this weekend, I saw the film again, and was inspired to buy the score
at the nearby Virgin Music Megalopolis.
And now I realize something. (Forgive my clever inarticulation of the
following.) The music from the movie _feels_ Extropian to me. Spontaneous
Order and such... what's a better example than music improvisation round the
clock?
A note about the score... it's by Burkhard Dallwitz, with multiple tracks by
Philip Glass. In fact, two of my favorite bits are originally from Anima
Mundi, a very well-produced (and narrator-free) special on PBS a few years
back. Philip Glass apparently scored the entire thing.
But all I know about him is that he "appeared" briefly on South Park for the
Christmas "Mr. Hanky" episode. Has anyone anything more on this guy?
