Might the composer be Philip Glass? Is Powaqatsi a movie? Glass
wrote the music for another film of similar title called Koyaanisquatsi,
a Hopi indian word meaning "life out of balance". The entire film is
in fast forward, and the entire score is minimalist. I actually enjoy
this music a great deal.
