Beck will contribute a track called “NYC: 73-78” to the album, which also includes cuts of the composer’s work from such acts as Tyondai Braxton, My Great Ghost, Dan Deacon, Memory Tapes and Peter Broderick.

The Juilliard-trained Glass has written symphonies, operas and many film scores. He is a three-time Oscar nominee for his original scores for Notes on a Scandal (2006), The Hours (2002) and Kundun (1997) and a Golden Globe winner for The Truman Show (1998). His repetitive music brought avant-garde into the mainstream, and he has influenced and collaborated with any number of artists from Mick Jagger and Paul Simon to David Bowie and Lou Reed to Brian Eno and Bjork.

Glass is set to perform Sept. 21 in New York as part of the I’ll Be Your Mirror festival, and a revival of his 1976 opera Einstein on the Beach continues next month and through March with multiple dates in Brooklyn, Berkeley, Calif., Mexico City, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.
