Lovely video and message. Especially the relevant use of *music by Debussy, Claire de Lune.

always enjoy these kind of videos. adam savage also has a bunch of great ones on his tested channel, that include a lot of great advice on materials and methods.

one tiny revision i'd offer, would be to include the name of the composer of the score, just ahead of the performer. completely understandable, of course, since you're properly quoting the youtube source description, which didn't include it, so unless you're a classical music fan, you'd never realize.

"Clair de Lune" ("Moonlight") was written by French composer Claude Debussy. Peter Schmalfuss was the performer of this recording.

nice sift! thanks for tossing it up here!

Wow, this joke went waayyyyy over a lot of peoples heads...they must have finished on DeBussy instead of on the Bach.

He'd be a composer if it was made in software prior to performance. Not a very good composer but a composer nonetheless. I'll give way and admit that since it is music then he is some form of musician. Not a skilled one but still a musician.

Composers are not performance musicians. They are still "musicians" in the sense that they manipulate music, but they do it vicariously. Most composers play one or two instruments but the instruments are not required to compose the music - it goes straight from head to paper.

Is this music? Yes and no. It's nice enough, but it's several orders of magnitude away from say Debussy or Chopin or Bach.

Your organ analogy is flawed (interestingly enough I lived above a full pipe organ for two years - true story). Firstly most modern organs have two keyboards and one pedal board with more keys in total than a piano. They also have a large range of stops that control more notes. Secondly each key activates one note - the same as a piano. It just has no attenuation. So the exact same rules apply except loudness is controlled by a different method.

If he had a 10x10 keypad with each pad assigned exactly one note a semitone apart from the next pad and he played a piece on it then it would be showing a similar level of skill.

FYI: This Debussy piece is/was the theme to Jack Horkheimer's old Star Hustler series.

It's Claude Debussy's Nocturnes: Sirènes
*bravo

I must know what this music is! It's dreamy!

Horkeimer always sounded like a demented pirate to me. And that computerized rendition of Debussy hurts my ears.

But upvote for astronomy goodness!
