Devonté Hynes And Philip Glass Compare Notes

[@BrianAnderson-7]

NPR Music never fails to deliver the best journalism and music on the Internet. More proof of this right here.

[@JustinTan23]

“I never took a job that I couldn’t quit very easily”

[@alariclopez4460]

For a musician those are words to live by, right there.

[@sometime.somewhere]

I think thats good advicw for everyone, always have options otherwise you'll feel like a slave to your job

[@josegabrieldeoliveiraneto1547]

C'est lá vérité

[@averyjs.9030]

Last night I literally ran into Dev Hynes at my local deli in Manhattan. We chatted for a bit, he was super positive and light hearted and it really raised my spirits running into him. Anyways, this vid popped up for me after I watched the video he released today. So I'm thinking "wow, what a cool insight into the lives of two artists I look up to" and come to find out this was released on my birthday??? I'm thinking Dev Hynes might be my spirit animal.

[@quinnthereaux7719]

dope story :) happy birthday tomorrow

[@averyjs.9030]

thank you!!!

i met him too in florence at like 1 am in some small side street. didn't have the time to chat cause i had to catch a bus, and wouldn't be able to have a normal conversation since i was slightly tipsy.

"When things get out of balance, the arts come in and bring the human side back. Without that, our societies would be prisons. They wouldn't be able to renew themselves." -- Philip Glass

[@myprsnlaccnt]

Legit

[@george4467]

Hencewhy major labels are corrupting artists integrity.

[@kelvinsmith6854]

Philip Glass is always a joy to listen to, no ego, very warm and genuine man....

[@WombieFerguson]

Love Glass and can't wait to hear his 3rd piano concerto. This guy is a living legend, folks.

[@Niaaal]

Witness him

[@LucidRobYT]

These types of raw, honest interviews are beyond the most enjoyable; and also convincing in my opinion. By convincing I mean that the message and/or knowledge that they are sharing resonates the best with those listening -- at least with me personally. Wonderful video and story. It's amazing how much people can relate to each other, even with so many years between their similar experiences.

[@Myocloud361]

Well said!

[@j.fetrange8951]

Two amazing musicians just talking. I need this daily. Beautiful!

[@caiosouzaart]

"When things get out of balance, the arts come in and bring the human side back." Wow. Great video

[@LucBoeren]

This is so very inspirational, thank you, mr. Glass, for having lived your life as you decided to do, and also NPR Music and Devonté for this great content!

[@beatrizmendonca7165]

I love so much both of them! Devonté is amazing, and glass is a genius. That's the best crossover ever

[@karakamen]

Blood Orange and Philip Glass together, in one video chatting? And at least one is a big fan of the other? What a holiday!

[@supracosm]

I feel so understood listening to this conversation

[@dalangwersonst]

very interesting interview thank you for that.

[@davusito]

thanks for this npr

[@raulrodrigues1006]

The editing and motion in the video are great

[@ImTooAbstract]

I just discovered Glassworks because of this, thank you!

[@behappyandsnappy1]

Wow I love both these artists. Amazing pairing. Thanks NPR for producing this! I especially love what Glass had to say about the importance of the arts in our society.

[@areyes4231]

Wow I didn't even know that I needed this

[@WorldWideWong]

ditto

[@blunterwun]

Ohhhh this is why I’m subscribed to NPR

[@SuperCutiepie1012]

i’d love to see devonté in the city somewhere and have a chat. he seems really kind

[@ximenaximenaxime]

I began watching this video because I'm a Philip Glass fan and finished it leaving a Blood Orange fan lol For those who don't know, the song at the beginning and end of the video is called I Know by Blood Orange

[@pianoboi4842]

Their chemistry is unreal

[@vernalist2869]

Lovely humans, superb artists ❤️

[@VaisakhSomanath]

Love and Respect. Philip Glass

[@miguelamadio9685]

I love music but to me it is like a hobby not a career, hope to release an album or ep someday, dev is a huge influence I believe he's a modern genius

[@aaronswank]

there has to be a longer piece somewhere...i need more

[@farrowixtopaz]

[@Sicamor1]

I did not know who is Dev Hynes, until now. I came to watch what Philip Glass said. Interesting to see who are the current inspirations of other musicians.

[@jonburgermanvideos]

two GOATs !

[@naarvmaan]

Dogg whatever he said about art and humanity I've always thought... so dead on

[@c.a.savage5689]

I want MORE. Where can I get MORE ??

[@grooveunlocked]

two legends

[@randomhandle6]

NPR Music: you should pull some strings and get Devonte a ticket for Hamilton.

[@benmacintosh9843]

Vibrating voice 5:23

[@canalinativo____2024]

Philip Glass is a monster! Thanks for that.

[@mo___sun]

Dope interview 🔥

[@jimmym5262]

This is so cool, glass is my favorite "alive" american composer. Does fantastic work.

[@boogeytrack]

2:43 Philip: "he didn`t say this is the good music and this is the bad music or this is the classical music. we never used those words. it was all just music" 5:40 also Philip: "i said,oh,maybe Jefferson was like that. maybe Jefferson was a hip hop guy" LOL

[@sierramclaughlin1324]

fantastic

[@deepfault]

Man, that last part that Phillip mentioned was so true.....

[@davemckay4359]

i cant remember how i started listening to pg

[@QuadryHolloman]

Phillip glass is a genius ❤✊🏽

[@iLikeTheUDK]

Whew, Philip Glass liked Hamilton quite a lot from the sound of things! Wonder what Lin-Manuel Miranda would think about that. We'd have a feedback loop of two great masters just congratulating each other all the time.

[@lmoreles]

so good

[@perrydelavega7505]

amazing

[@randomgetrankehalter4909]

what a combination

[@mauryroblovich]

thanks

[@maxwell_young]

wow

[@Theunkhfactory]

REAL TALK!

[@hellbooks3024]

Juilliard wasn’t at Lincoln Center when Glass said he told his mother he was going there. There was no Lincoln Center at that time. Juilliard was uptown.

[@hisroyalblueness]

Enjoyed it but what's with the pink rat at 3:11?

[@joshthorsteinson3035]

hisroyalblueness New York is famous for having lots of rats

[@yosoyleus]

Oh, that's you!

[@lilotaku3801]

I like devs hat I want one 😭

[@selvanegrra]

What are the songs in this video?

[@pottingsoil]

It is somewhat sick to think that when things are bad, artist then rise to fill the void.

[@MRLCHM]

where's the rest of it??

[@rollercoasteris]

Does anyone know the model of the sandal dev is using? i love them.

[@jayr2225]

Philip Glass would be any musicians wet dream

[@q.o.m.q.o.m.9697]

What is the name of the piece at 4:42

[@23istate]

what is the song that plays at the beginning

[@Butterflybreakfast]

album covers you say? :D

[@jawapaw]

if you have never listened to Glass’ Einstein on the Beach...do your self a favor and do it rtfn

[@sage4288]

TWO CREATIVE PEOPLE WHHAA

[@karin1253]

what film or theater is philipp talking about towards the end? i can't make out the name.

[@atcquentin]

Hamilton

[@An-br7hb]

Music at 5.10 please?

[@sometime.somewhere]

People always say that they casually came to new york when they're from another country, I'm thinking it's not that easy, is it?

[@darienbragg4826]

thechampionessa for musicians signing deals with New York based labels, it can be, potentially

[@kimiko8796]

anyone know what shoes dev is wearing?

[@lachlanmacpherson9426]

any1 know what brand Dev's shoes are?

[@rollercoasteris]

I wish I could know too! did you find it?

[@ybuzz]

Chancla

[@rollercoasteris]

@@ybuzz do you know the brand? haha

[@setphaser]

To short!

[@pietateip]

Looks like Wes Anderson did the edit 😀

[@jackdolah2031]

even hans zimmer look for inspiration from the great philip glass

[@TheDriftingsmoke]

53 minutes too short

[@janpaulwolff9310]

so pop is wider than classical music now? haha

[@leonelsilvera9456]

This guy will never be at the high level of Philip Glass. Never.

[@aphexon.]

Usa is pretty close to a prison though.

[@TheRedverb]

Who the frig is Phillip Glass?

[@cometcourse381]

it's not very hard to use the internet and find out, there is no excuse to be ignorant in 2018

[@TheRedverb]

@@cometcourse381My comment wasn't a genuine question, it was a passive aggressive jab at Phillip Glass.

[@gracebarrington7436]

yo this interview bullshit man I j tryna hear by boy D talk to my boy PG for hours on E

[@Si-Al-Ti]

He’s 21.....? Fôck

[@ihavenoidea64]

He said he came to New York when he was 21

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

kungmat 31 rather

[@yseson_]

Ten years ago

[@shuttie92]

mmm actually I reckon Dev Hynes found Philip Glass's music on a blog or youtube and then illegally downloaded a few albums before buying the records (could be wrong)

[@DerogatoryMess]

this was a bad chopped up edit, shame on NPR
