 Philip Glass mini-bio: Glass himself has written many film scores, almost accidentally starting with his orchestral score for Koyaanisqatsi (Godfrey Reggio, 1982) and continuing with two biopics - Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (Paul Schrader, 1985, resulting the String Quartet No.3) and Kundun (Martin Scorsese, 1997) about the Dalai Lama. He continued composing for the Qatsi trilogy with the scores for Powaqqatsi (Reggio, 1988) and Naqoyqatsi (Reggio, 2002). He even made a cameo appearance in Peter Weir's The Truman Show (1998) (which uses music from Powaqqatsi and Mishima), performing at the piano. In 1999 he wrote a new soundtrack for the 1931 film Dracula. The Hours (Stephen Daldry, 2002), Taking Lives (D. J. Caruso, 2004), and The Fog of War (Errol Morris, 2003) are the most notable scores for films from the early 2000s, containing older works but also newly composed music. He composed the score for Secret Window (David Koepp, 2004) and also composed the music for Candyman (Bernard Rose, 1992) and the sequel, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (Bill Condon, 1995), as well as a film adaptation of Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent (1996). Glass most recently composed the score for Neil Burger's The Illusionist in 2006.
