This version of Koyaanisqatsi is the most complete and representative recording of the soundtrack to this seminal film. SYNOPSIS: A non-verbal film integrating images, music and ideas contrasting scenes from America’s natural and urban landscapes.
The title is a Hopi Indian word meaning “life out of balance.” Created between 1975 and 1982, the film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds — urban life and technology versus the environment.
