It’s interesting to listen to this song and watch people while you are driving speed past you and scurry to their everyday lives just continuing to live in the system we have been formatted for as human beings.
@@shiningarmor2838 The first time I saw it I left the theater because , I was too scared to watch the whole thing . But I did better on the second viewing .
First time I heard this was back in the 90s and I've been hooked ever since. Then when it was in Watchmen that added an entire new dimension to that movie. Now I listen to it and to this day it still mesmerizes me. I never want it to end.
V. Dargain Well Philip Glass is a minimalist composer and JSB is Baroque to the max. An interesting thought though. Jack Bruce said he wished the old JS would have written the bass lines got him to play with Cream.
Very well done. I've listened to at least parts of the OST every week for a few decades. It is so perfect for reflection and thought. Can say how many times I watched the film. I saw it when it first came out in the theater, and it apparently stuck with me much longer than expected.
Jens, thankyou for posting this great video. I have been putting this to score myself. It seems quite simple as there are two phrases, but I am having a little difficulty getting the bass clef right. Thanks again.
The recording quality of this post oddly helps the music in some weird way. Especially from what I know about the movie. You don't want clean and pristine in this
@@johnknott6539 it’s not that the audio is necessarily poor. If anything, it just goes to show that 99.9% of organ music is meant to be felt first, then heard. That’s my favorite part about playing the organ: crank up the volume, gut out the lower registers, and shake the building. Good times.
Before now, I had always thought it was the Supreme inventor of the universe who played this (the cosmic cause that started the Big Bang) now I see it's actually Philip Glass through yourself, Herr Heitmann ... amazing, so simple yet so complex... hoorah and kudos....
Poor camera quality or not, you do this piece justice, sir! Beautifully done! This piece alone makes me want to learn how to play a keyboard instrument, if only for this one song. --I also couldn't help but notice your little smirk while playing. When I saw that, I literally yelled out, "HELL YES!" It brings me great joy to see a musician really getting into their music. It's the best feeling in the world, though it's a little tough to smirk whilst playing the oboe! Blessed be, and keep spreading beautiful music!
Glücklicherweise haben mich die CZcams Empfehlungen hierher gebracht. Ich finde Deine Interpretation auf der Kirchenorgel außerordentlich schön. Die Orgel macht die Stimmung noch dramatischer bei dem ohnehin schon traurigen Stück. Falls Du noch Zugang zu der Kirche hast, wäre es richtig cool, dieses Stück noch einmal mit aktueller Technik aufzunehmen und hier zu posten. Danke! Thanks to youtube recommendations I came here and I really love your interpretation of Koyaanisqatsi.The organ adds some kind of dramatic subflavor to it. I'm just wondering if you still have access to the cathedral and could do another run with better sound recording.Would be very appreciated - thank you!
@@jensheitmann1989Großes "Danke schön" für die schnelle und vor allem positive Antwort. Freut mich sehr zu lesen und später auch zu hören. :) Viel Erfolg!
You are the reason I got an organ, and have been trying to play. My son, 11 years old are also playing. This video of you playing is amazing and we love it. I showed it to the organist in my church. He was asking where he can get the notes so he can play. Where can we? thanks!
Einfach genial......in diesem Tempo klingt es noch „mächtiger“ .......schade dass der sound etwas übersteuert....aber trotzdem kann ich mir das Video immer und immer wieder anschauen und anhören.....vll gibt es ja nochmal ein Remake? 😊 (würde mich sehr sehr freuen)
It remembers some baroque ciaconas above all that it consists of an ostinato with variations. I would like to know if it is possible to get the score at the internet.
The distortion almost makes it sound more epic.
This is a virtuoso performance by a genius organ player. We must recognise the immensity of this player's talent and his contribution to humanity.

It’s rather depressing once you’ve seen the film and see what is really going on around you, I think. Brilliant but depressing.
The camera man should have chanted: "Koyaanisqatsi"
Maybe it's a camera woman, and it doesn't match to the original voice.
@@alimohammadi520 Or it's a camera monkey paid with peanuts
He should of used me. I sing base and have a wonderful voice and I know all the words. KOYAANISQATSI!
A men's choir chanting would have been the ULTIMATE of awesome
Lt Darkstar Or just Darth Vader (but yes I do agree ;)
So solemn. Beyond life and death...
wonderful.
the bass line (played by the feet) is so strong that the sound is distorded in this recording here
dinledim This is true
need a good speaker system attached to the computer
It’s too powerful for technology to handle
Microphones are too close and thats okay
@@52flyingbicycles analog stay winning
Every time I hear Koyaaniskatsy I break in tears.
What's wrong with you pussy
Daniel Garib
Why do you make fun of someone by calling them pussy? Don't you love pussy?
I think the distorted sound makes it even better ... adds some character after all ... the song is about life out of balance and thing beng mes uo
I agree! It gives you a perspective of how loud those low registers would be in person.
Beautiful! Spot-on. I was lucky enough to see Koyaanisqatsi performed live. Will never forget it.
Wow!!! Phillip Glass went on a tour for that? Someone, if not him, should do it again...
Bruno Credidio I saw him at UCLA
With movie projected live- Philip Glass himself playing with his ensemble. Deeply deeply moving, loud as a rock concert but never to be forgotten.
Me too, in Edinburgh. Amazing
Me too @ Opera House, Sydney...
Einfach wunderbar. Vielen Dank!
Oh, to be there, and have that huge sound vibrating my bones!
One of the most terrifying compositions of all time.
KOYAANISQATSI!!!!!
It's those 32' stops. They do that to you.

This is why I want an organ
Go for Hauptwerk (virtual organ). Then you have it in your home!
+Soy Eso there's no need, I have found a church that lets me play theirs
@@shiningarmor2838 what a great church! hope you still play the organ there:)
Very nice. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish I where there listening. Danke!
Bravo, Jens! Bravo!
Just two words - THANK YOU!
I wish Johann Sebastian Bach could have heard this music.
Which would you like better?
Johann hearing Philip or Philip hearing Johann? Day 24
THANK YOU FOR SUCH GOOD CAMERA WORK!!
I wonder what kind of flourish Bach would have added to the piece if he were asked to .
Well, I heard it now :D
V. Dargain Well Philip Glass is a minimalist composer and JSB is Baroque to the max. An interesting thought though. Jack Bruce said he wished the old JS would have written the bass lines got him to play with Cream.
Fantastic.
Glad to see I'm not the only one to have thought about playing this nice piece of music onto a real organ :D
I've loved Koyaanisqatsi since it was first released. You have really done this fantastic piece of music justice. Loved it. Thank you.
Si l'orgue de mon église enfant avait joué cela, j'aurais été beaucoup plus assidu... L'orgue va merveilleusement à la musique de Glass.
Wundervoll und irgendwie auch unheimlich. Auf jeden Fall großartig. Ich steh ja total drauf, wenn ne Orgel donnern darf
Magnificent, bravo, maestro.
Gorgeous playing, perfect tempo. Bravo
so great to hear this on such a wonderful instruments...it deserves it! Philip Glass would be proud
От души исполнил
внатуре, ёпта
Exquisitely performed! I am in love with this music....
Sounds so amorous.. Fantastic.
so effortless, and at the same time devastating... thank you!
Played perfectly.
I wish I was there - great! You can imagine how deep and powerful the music was there. Beste Grüße aus Schenkendöbern :-)
This will be the theme of "Dark Winter 2021" God Bless All and may He protect us from evil
Wonderful playing sir. 3:31 gave me the chills. Bravo sir!
"and so much is lost"
makes me think of a high school classmate,James Kerr 1951-2001
sehr schön !!!

Amazing stuff! must give shivers to hear in real ..
Beautiful, Wel done! Sounds just like in the film. Respect!
Incredibly ominous music!
Willkommen im smarten jüngsten Gericht !
Es gibt die , die es machen und die , die es mit
sich machen lassen .
Such a brilliant piece - to bring the theatre organ tradition to a whole new level.
Thanks for putting this up. wonderful.
amazing... KOYAANISQATSI
wonderous!!
Представляю какие там басы, ни один сабвуфер не даст таких! 👍
Не мудрено. Кафедральный собор Магдебурга сам по себе гигант. Старейшее при этом готическое здание севернее Альп.
dude its beast good job
I have been longing to learn to play an instrument for a long time. But now i know what it is!
wow this is great!
fantastic !
Great bro👍👍👍
perfect job mate, well done.
Seriously, please please make a new record of this Masterpiece at same location.
I;ve been there. My grandpa's homeland
This should have been on the Interstellar soundtrack.
Incredible
If it was, it'd have been way too obvious where Hans Zimmer nicked his concept and musical approach from.
Thank you for the music sheets!!
YES!

Oh...sure you do. I do, anyway.

When you finally have a song that's not always too high pitched for you to sing along to.
This would be such a Karaoke killer ;)

YOU ARE SO AMAZING
Я балдею от момента, где басы с основной партией идут в разные стороны: басы идут ниже, а партия выше.
Woah!!! Thank you for this great rendition, such a moving piece of music
imagine just wandering past a church and hearing this
¡Preciosas notas! ^_^
The Interstellar OST seems oddly copypasta of this
The interstellar soundtrack was, as Hans Zimmer said, strongly inspired by this.
@@theexchipmunk strongly stolen
@@Canisestlupus not stolen inspired
@D2RG6 Can you really still steal music? Everything is derivative nowadays.
@@user-de3zc6bm6u covering may be but sampling isnt... screw Rihanna

Tick-tick , tick-tock , . Old clock , new clock . Tick-tock , tick -tock . I can hear you playing both clearly . Nice job !
please tell me it was played in a church. how cooler could it get ?
The church is listed above (Dom St. Laurentius und Mauritius Magdeburg)
Good old September 14th, 1982
I used this in a video (non monetized), I hope you don't mind but it fits perfectly.
thanks
Life out of balance right there
Komme aus Wolfsburg hehe C:
Wow! Powerful.
You don't have to be wearing a tux to play great music.
Words to live by. :)
Mir gefällt es.
JENS YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB BUT WISH YOU HAD BETTER AUDIO I LOVE IT .
Nice!
NOOICE!!!
Nice.
Can I have this for my funeral?
heavy stuff
