Background: For the first time, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and composer Philip Glass have collaborated in creating the musical score for filmmaker Godfrey Reggio’s Naqoyqatsi. Glass was acclaimed for the music he wrote for both of the previous films in Reggio’s trilogy, but this is the first time he has worked with Yo-Yo Ma.

The Qatsi trilogy, as Reggio’s films are collectively called, forms an emotional journey that highlights the profundities imbedded in everyday life. The films’ titles come from the Hopi culture. Koyaanisqatsi means 'life out of balance', and Powaqqatsi means 'life in transformation'. In Naqoyqatsi – which means 'life as a battle' – Reggio uses breathtaking imagery to chronicle the most significant event of the last five thousand years: the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual.
