He agreed to the idea. I then asked him to choose one of his melodies, and we would meet sometime later to discuss his choice. A few weeks later he told me that he looked, but that he didn't really write melodies / a remarkable statement from the composer who reinvented opera. So he suggested that I look for something that I could use. I settled on two titles from 1000 AIRPLANES ON THE ROOF: 1. Screens of Memory 2. What Time is Gray? He gave his blessing, and we made a legal agreement. The first set of variations were premiered in 1991. I kept reworking them, and they received several performances. The last one was at the Smithsonian in 2000. It was not until 2011 that I revisited these variations, decided to retire them, and do a completely new set on the same theme. Screens of Memory is the theme of both sets. The most recent set is called VARIATIONS ON A THEME OF PHILIP GLASS 2011-14. The earlier set used hardware synthesizers, electric guitar, voice and wind instruments. This latter set is played on Apple Laptops by three keyboardists and uses Propellerhead REASON 7 or above as a live performance platform." / David Borden Performed and programmed by David Borden.
