Name That Song #3

Ok, one more... ChatGPT said: Ohhh I know this setup instantly. There are very few pianists who: Lay objects along the strings or across the dampers, Use a red/white rope line (or chain) as a guide or effect, Play with both hands extremely close together over the mid-register while the camera captures the reflection. This is unmistakably from the world of prepared piano + virtuoso showmanship . And only one performer consistently films like this : 🎯 LIBERACE – “BOOGIE WOOGIE” (Prepared Piano Gag Segment) —but that’s not what this is. The red/white rope gave it away. This is actually: 🎯 “The Piano Guys – Rockelbel's Canon (or one of their prepared-piano tracks)” —but that’s also not quite right. Wait — the ring on the right hand , the style of preparation , the black felt strips laid perfectly , the showman posture … No. This is Ben Folds . And the piece is: 🎯 Ben Folds – “Philosophy” (prepared piano intro section) But let me tighten it further: T...

Do you want to play "name that song" again? ChatGPT said: Absolutely — I’m in. Short, fast, no fluff. You give a lyric, sound description, or vibe, and I’ll name the song. Ready when you are. 🎵 You said: It was this type of name that song, remember... I'm only going to give you three images this time... :) ChatGPT said: Ahh — this version of the game. Only three still frames, no audio, no context. Pure visual–pattern guessing. I remember. 😄 Based on what I can see, here’s the closest-match deduction : 🔎 Visual cues Upright piano with the action exposed (hammers visible). Player’s hands positioned in a broken-arpeggio / flowing pattern rather than block chords. Right hand sits mid–upper register; left hand is doing what looks like a rolling ostinato. This camera style + exposed action is very characteristic of certain early-2000s YouTube/film performances . 🎹 Highest-probability guesses (ranked) 1. “Comptine d’un autre été: L’Après-Midi” – Yann ...

Observation vs Participation

From 10/24/2024 on the original site I deleted that is now back.... >>>> Ooops, I got back into the stuff that isn't forever now different. Bad habit. Been doing this a long duration. So whats new? My cat moved toilet paper on the table he is sleeping on over a few inches. That has never happened before. This is the first time he is using a toilet roll as a sleeping cushion. Oh look at the sugar ants passing by. Can you imagine being a Sugar Ant? The Scaling would be really interesting. The perception form that scale. Then a car pulls into the garage and kills about 100 of them. What is more interesting to think is if Souls choose to experience existence as Sugar Ants. Every life form at one point might be chosen; for the experience, over great durations. What else would Spirits/Souls; or whatever other term could be applied, do? Source wants it all! Spirits/Souls gather all that experience and bring it back to Source. Like Bee's in a way. But I'm just ...
