Sigur Rós Glósóli played on a Tonal Plexus

This is my rendition of Glósóli by Sigur Rós, from the 2005 album Takk. It really doesn't take 211 keys in an octave to play this, but it's nice to be able to play it in Just Intonation, with different pitches depending on the voice leading. This is a single take. I tried to capture some of the grandeur of the original, though that is really impossible, and I hope you won't think my effort is too lame ... get the real thing here - IMHO possibly the best music video ever made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_MJAOyOeU&feature=related ... more about the Tonal Plexus at http://www.h-pi.com

Is that made of LEGO

Wow. Thanks for doing this. Any resolution after tension is infinitely more beautiful to me in Just Intonation.

Nice idea, but I can tell that the MIDI sounds still have some beat-disguising distortion in them, originally intended to help disguise the out-of-tune-ness of a normal piano. It would sound even better with the distortion taken out.

Are those Lego's?? Good job

Oh, Sigur Rós. My friend digs them. I always thought it was Cigarosse. Alles ist klar.

You are right, that is a truly amazing video.

this was the exact opposite of a lame effort, sweet ending!
