I don't think it's a sample. It's a piano arpeggiating a root 5th and octave, which is a common device sometimes referred to as a 'pedal point'. The static nature of a 'pedal' provides tension and a constant from which the rest of the music can draw contrast. The 28 Days Later soundtrack has a cue called "In A Heartbeat" that uses a similar intro. Plenty of Thomas Newman and Philip Glass cues start out similarly too.


Look at the big brain on Brett!

Thank you for this, I think my film-soundtrack-addled brain was mixing the 28 Days Later and Moon piano bits. I still get an eerie déjà-entendu everytime I listen to the Muse song...

I know the rover has the equipment to perform intercision, but they are still not sure if they can find any little Martian kids. >> ^hpqp:

I've just read the most excellent His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, so every time they say "Dust" it takes on a whole different meaning in my mind.

Where's Philip J. Fry?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560747/news#ni32418388

It's always been known that Paul Thomas Anderson's (Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood) The Master was in some way inspired by the life of L. Ron Hubbard, the man who not only gave the world the cinematic gift that is Battlefield Earth [sic (puke)], but who founded the Church of Scientology. The first two teaser trailers for the film, however, played coy with how strong that connection is. They've simply been relatively plot-free (but beautifully shot) glimpses at the troubled life of an alcoholic played by Joaquin Phoenix.

This full trailer, however, gives us our first substantial look at the eponymous figure inspired by Hubbard, played in the film by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who seems to be having a spot of trouble trying to recruit and keep Phoenix into his organization.

I disagree, the audio on the other one is stupid I'm not calling it, mainly because I'm too lazy to look up if audio is enough of a difference, but if someone else wants to look it up and invoke...>> ^Zawash:

Naw - even though I don't have permissions to invoke it, it's a dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Wave-Pendulum
Or this one - with music.

Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Joaquin Phoenix... Seacorps better have their shit ready.

^Wow, @UsesProzac! That is sooo cool!


I like the Sift because here, Philip Glass is cool. I went by myself to that concert I was talking about earlier. Woe!

One of my favorite memories is seeing Philip Glass and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. He did a Q&A before the show and it was wonderful to be in the same room as him. I bet he has lots of crazy groupies like me.

If I had to guess, this is the Philip Glass Ensemble performing.

You're welcome. Thanks for freeing my Kaolin vid, too

As you can see, there is currently a 6 month delay between me putting a video on my list of ones to promote and then getting to it File that under "better late than never".

You're only one vid away from bronze, too.

p.s. Is this your lego marble run one?
