My first reaction was keep that &)@&$ earworm away from me, but then… ‘eight cellos you say?’
That was cathartic.

But now metal as fuck.

Wikipedia says symphonic metal and neo-classical metal. I never knew. Wow.

(Metal is slowly going full circle and one day we’ll be back to doo-wop metal.)

Beethoven is pretty metal. Bits by Verdi, even.

The other acoustically cool thing is that it’s 8 of the same cello. You never get that perfect tone match in real life.

Definitely cool, but i found it confusing / disorienting AF to have the same person in all 8 frames. My brain could not decide which one to concentrate on at any given time.

Just close your eyes and listen.
After all, this is about the music, not the visuals.

Funny, that was my favorite part - watching all 8 versions of the cello player. But then, I’ve watched orchestras for years, and I’m squirrel-brained, so it’s fun for me.
