[TheMuzeak]

any chance of seeing gustav holst's 'the planets'?

[smalin]

@TheMuzeak  Jupiter, maybe ... if I can find a decent recording to license ...

[boudeyful]

Hi Smalin: I remember you recommended a book in a comment before about the effect of music buildup but I can't find it now. Can you please mention the book name again?

Also, I think if you show the bar delimiters visually that would be awesome. I sort of lose the bars from 3:00 onwards.

Thank you very much.

[smalin]

@boudeyful It was probably David Huron's book, Sweet Anticipation. As for barlines, I sometimes show them and sometimes don't; either way, some viewers are dissatisfied.

how long time did you need to create this video ????? (Sorry for my english i am 15 years old and from germany)

[smalin]

@GranTourismoPrO I don't remember ... probably several days ... maybe a week?

Charlie Brookers theme for "we're all gonna die"

I need this as my alarm in the morning.

[dbeiswenger]

When yellowstone erupts, im gonna stand on my front porch, looking to the west, and listen to this as i watch the ash cloud approach. Knowing that the united states, and the world, will never be the same again.

@CorleytheCantelope Of recent, famous ones? Probably "The King's Speech." But it's Beethoven, it's been in a lot of things.

[theargosy23]

It was in Zardoz.
