There are a lot of Philip Glass rip offs on commercials. For this add however, IBM sprang for the real thing
Not as artfully done perhaps as this Scorcese directed Amex commercial from a few years ago.

I can wait to see the responses to those videos. Is DeNiro really that short on cash that he needed to do that commercial?
I really like these commercials. That’s not the only commercial for IBM that Glass did. There’s two if I’m not mistaken.
MrSticker, that Tribecca commercial is a few years old now.
And, if nothing else, your question is better addressed to Scorsese. DeNiro, for one, is helping to push his festival.
My guess is that it was fun for them all to do it.
The first chance I’ve had to see the Scorsese Ad since I first heard about it a few years ago; what amazes me is how Glass can do so much in just 1 min! Such powerfully evocative, emotional music; building, climaxing, and subsiding with such economy is spine tingling to hear!
