 Godfrey Reggio (qv) was hooked on Philip Glass (qv) doing the  music. He approached Glass through a mutual friend, and Glass  replied, "I dont do film music." Reggio persisted, and finally the  friend told Glass that the tenacious guy was not going to go away  without at least an audience. Glass relented, though he still  insisted he wasnt doing the music. Reggio put together a photo  montage with Glass music as the soundtrack, which he presented to  Glass at a private screening in New York. Immediately following the  screening, Glass agreed to score the film.
