The score for Koyaanisqatsi has influenced me in 2 ways. The actually music itself is an influence because of it's minimalistic qualities and repeating patterns that match the feel and meaning of the images on screen. How it was conceived also inspires me, unlike typical scores in which the music is created after the shots have been taken, Philip Glass would approach Godfrey Reggio the director with a piece he had composed and then Reggio would shoot with that music in mind.
The music in the link demonstrates the ambient and minimalistic nature of the score.
