does anyone knows when the second guy starts playing? from what I hear it's not when he puts his hands on the piano.

[James Iman]

The second piano slowly fades in.

This reminds me of watching turn signals of cars and trying to find ones that are on the same time. they never are but they are close enough that for a few moments they are on the same time.

This is what LSD sounds like.

[Jordan Schneider]

Fantastic, truly amazing. It seems accidental, but is amazing

[klaudyuxxx]

yeah, this sucked, it actually made me dizzy

[moniquemoreau]

there's no one in the audience

You dont get the same feeling when you watch in on the computer. You become so mesmerized by whats going on and its insane.

[Rusvul]

I can feel my brain leeching out of my skull.

u can start to hear it about 1:02

[Casey Bentley]

They are actually both playing the exact same thing at the same time in the beginning. The second piano is just doing it slightly faster so they shift out of phase.

[Richard Composerr]

why is this played one octave lower?

[Diego Crusius]

this is soooo amazing

I remember getting a similar effect when playing a piano piece over a recorded version of myself on my keyboard, I couldn't sync myself to the music so it sounded phased like this. :)
