Túwaqachi (The Fourth World)

Released

The 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance was famous in part for its score, written by celebrated minimalist composer Phillip Glass. Tuwaqachi is bassist and producer Bill Laswell’s proposed alternative to the Glass score, and one can only assume that watching the film with Laswell’s musical accompaniment would make it a radically different viewing experience. Laswell’s music is dark and haunting, and at times frankly a bit scary. His bass is at the center of the sound, but there are lots of strange and otherworldly elements swirling around at any given moment. The music is brilliant, but maybe not the best thing to listen to if you’re at home alone late at night.
