"A collaborative work by Glass and other artists for the 2004 Olympiad, is an expansive multicultural celebration, inspired by stargazing but ultimately oriented toward the Earth and its diverse inhabitants. Starting with Australia, then moving on to China, Canada, Africa, Brazil, India, and Greece. Glass portrays each nation through its characteristic style or instrumental associations, and provides energetic pattern music for an impressive roster of international artists."
