    Movie, “Self/less,” from 2015 that YouTube seems make available for “free.” Plays with the idea of “what if old/frail/sick people can transplant their minds into healthy bodies?”

        “Chaos Theory” … it’s drama/rom-com (definitely not SciFi), released in 2008.
        Nice, thoughtful movie, actually; about the choices one made in life, love, fatherhood, randomness in life etc.
        It stars Ryan Reynolds before he developed his motormouth style of acting.

                Peter Bence’s original piece:

                I have wondered for a long time what a Peter Bence’s original composition would sound like. Now I finally have an answer.

                  Flights of the Bumble Bee, piano solo.
                  Very solid performance, no gimmick.

                    The only gimmick was the disorienting motion of the camera-driver.

                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Another one by the same artist:

                      Link to video

                      Not as bombastic or idiosyncratic as some one like, say, Peter Bence, would do it, but still a very respectable, enjoyable transcription and performance. It hues very close to the original, too.

                          Nice movie, like John Wick as a teenage medieval princess.

                            Historical perspective, Ireland, 1967:

                            Interesting comment: “I love how they expressed themselves without fear of making an internet mob angry.”
                            Of course, it was 1967 and there was no Internet yet.

                                      One of the best film ever created, IMO:

                                      Link to video

                                      Yeah, it’s animated; but even if it’s life action, the emotion, the plot, the story telling, the direction, the cinematography, the dialogue, the action design, the background music … every aspect is top notch.

                                        For sure computer aided manufacturing is used, still amazes me how much hand-crafting is needed to make the final product.

                                          Same piece, performed by two different orchestras. Beautiful composition, sonorous orchestration. But comparing the two recordings, this is my impression:

                                          The first one is the better orchestra, generally more seasoned musicians, but it sounds like they have not put in enough rehearsal time to tighten things down.

                                          The second one sounds like it has put in more rehearsal time, but it still shows that the orchestra/musicians are not as skilled/seasoned as the first one.

                                          The music deserves the first orchestra's caliber with the second orchestra's rehearsal time.
