IBM has developed a fascinating new way of deepening ones knowledge of
Philip Glass' pieces or to simply find out about them in the first place.
Their "Glass Engine" enables you to playfully navigate through more than
sixty of his works. The system uses a range of sliding bars, which are
pegged to different attributes of the music, such as the works length,
release year, "intensity" or "density". You could also try to find
compositions which are "joyful" or, rather, "sad". By dragging your mouse
from left to right, the engine searches for the work corresponding to the
current position on the bar (e.g. a very "fast" piece) and instantaneously
displays all of its other characteristics. This may sound a bit difficult,
but it's incredibly simple and works for IE 4.5+. The only thing you can not
do, unfortunately, is listen to excerpts.
