[musharrafdog]

it sounds like they're saying "pharmacy tech, pharmacy tech"

as in "pharmacy technician"

Maybe this would have inspired me not to give up studying for certification in that field.

Is there an ondes-martenot in this?

[tisthegifttobesimple]

Wow! That was amazing! Who knew people still write music like this!

I'm sure it took the baritones a while to practice repeating "tat tvam asi" that fast without getting tongue tied. I tried it and it's not easy.

[Aaibtd]

Actually, it's a bit easier than it looks. The V is realized as a labiodental approximant, which has the same release as a W, but with the teeth near the lower lip. So it's more like "tat twam asi."

I found this very moving.
