  Ahh, thank you. I have heard it before and liked it. For some reason I associate it with a French film.    @stux those people ain't living in Berlin, nobody here would ever look around when something like this happens :blobcatgiggle:   @maxthyme @stux same. I'm just walking around like the Hulk the past few years, barely simmering rage when people assert I wear a mask because of 'anxiety'. No, I get nightmares and panic attacks because of anxiety.   I passed through Wellington airport in a terrible rush and there was a choir performing "How Far I'll Go" with a portable stereo for backing. Choirmaster but all in street clothes with no signage, so my guess was they were on their way somewhere and just decided to give the travelers a free show I forgot the important bit! Which was how inexplicably happy it made me, a fifty-something-year-old who has only time to listen for maybe sixty seconds @stux I live for music, but who organised this and why? It's imported from instagram or youtube or whatever. Are we being manipulated here too? @AvonVilla @stux I've seen clips of this sort of thing happening in various streets/squares all over too - it's a thing I wish would happen more. @draeath @stux I wish people would make and enjoy music in surprising and delightful ways too, I just get this uncomfortable feeling that the whole thing is manufactured by the airline industry or the Indianapolis Tourist Board or something like that, and it feels sneaky and exploitative, rather than spontaneous and joyous.  @stux if anyone's wondering: this is Shostokovich's Suite for Jazz orchestra No. 2, Op. 50b, No 2, Waltz  @stux i want someone to edit in the masquerade orgy from eyes wide shut (that waltz number 2 is featured in)    @stux I not only love the impromptu concert, but it’s also wonderful to see how different people react. You’ve got the dancing couple, the Plaid Dude strumming his fingers on the table…  @stux One of these days I hope I'm lucky enough to get caught by an orchestra flash mob. It seems like it'd be a really cool experience. @stux Thanks to this video, I have discovered Dmitri Shastakovich and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for posting this and to the person who named the song (who I can't respond to cause it hasn't federated with my instance sadly).  @stux I just want to know where all these public spaces are where you can just find a nice new piano to sit down at and play. (I've seen several other videos like this...) (Also, nobody seems to be masking -- when was this recorded?)  @stux Kind of surreal - the piano player / organizer is my nephew. He puts on these kinds of performances fairly regularly around Indiana University in Bloomington.    @stux@mstdn.social A bit sad in my opinion that it was on an airport. I would find it nice for maybe homeless people (I know there are some musicians who did that). |
