Naqoyqatsi, the third and last film in the Qatsi trilogy, means 'life as war'. Around 80% of the film uses archive footage and stock images, digitally manipulated on non - linear workstations and combined with computer - generated imagery. It shows society's shift from a natural to a tech - based environment. Just like its predecessors Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, Philip Glass composed the music. The Philip Glass Ensemble performed it, with the great Yo - Yo Ma on cello. The score, started in 1982 for 'Koyaanisqatsi', is now complete. The music is more traditionally orchestral, acting as a familiar link to the unfamiliar images. The cello plays throughout much of the piece, and some non - traditional instruments like a didgeridoo and an electronic jaw harp are used.
