There are papers on gravity-induced decoherence, and similar, by L.H.Ford et al, which should be easily googlable. IIRC, a statistical distribution of gravitational interactions with many other particles nearby can make off-diagonal terms in the density matrix decrease rapidly to zero...

I just noticed this cover of Gollum's Song (from The Two Towers) by Alina Gingertail. Questions: what is the 1st instrument that appears? It seems to be played with a bow and levers. Also, what is the small compact wind instrument that appears later?

Just now, I became aware of Diana Ankudinova (incredible range of pitch): Cover of "Wicked Game": Cover of one of the main Dune themes:

Hmm,... those tuba players are doing to the original song what the rednecks did to Ned Beatty in the film?

I just became aware of the "Kiffness" channel on youtube... So clever.

Well,... for some of us it's...

I've recently discovered that I quite like Clamavi de Profundis. Here's their cover of the Misty Mountains song from The Hobbit. I really like their deeper harmonies and slightly modified way they move between certain chords. This is the 8min version. There's also a 20min(!) version. On the...

(I only noticed this post just now.) I agree, it's not very good, (meaning: not up to MC's usual standard). I listened (briefly) to some other attempted covers of Comfortably Numb but I get the feeling most who attempt it are basing themselves on the original studio version, instead of the...

If you're referring to Einstein's "nonsymmetric UFT", well,... imho it's total rubbish. His cavalier manipulations of the two lower indices on the connection components shows that he didn't really understand the true purpose of the connection object in the context of differential geometry. It's...

Thanks. I have another instrument question: Near the start of at 0:19 there's a brief sound like a rocket launching, just before the thumping bass line drops. What's the instrument producing the rocket-launch sound? Synth? Electric Guitar?

I never get tired of it. It's fascinating to watch young youtubers reacting to it, initially not knowing quite what to make of it, and then you see the magic gradually penetrating their soul... Btw, I mentioned this remastered+improved version recently: Much higher quality, plus extra little...

Just curious... how do people here feel about "Emerald Princess" by Two Steps from Hell, which (I gather) can be a bit polarizing? I came across it recently by accident in the following video, which is a montage from LotR even though "Emerald Princess" is not part of the LotR soundtrack. Despite...

Much as I like Melanie, I prefer the Stone's version. I find Melanie's version a bit too tortured... :oldfrown: It's strange how sad songs can "lift one's soul", at least for me. Maybe my brain is just wired wrong. Speaking of sad songs which nevertheless make me feel better,... in the studio...
