2. Mesmerizing!

[Ocelot II]

3. Very cool! And what a heck of a lot of work to put that together!

[Fla Dem]

4. The precision that must be needed to create this is mind blowing.

5. Quite a while ago...

... I recall seeing a video of an insanely complex stringed instrument that looked as real as can be, but turned out to be CGI. Real or not, it was beautiful and memorable. Gotta wonder if this is something similar. Again, real or not, it is a remarkable achievement.

On Edit: The Scott Joplin tune (Theme from "The Sting" with Redford and Newman) sounded like there were TWO piano notes emanating from one little strip of wood, or whatever the material was. Hard to be sure. No matter, I love watching this. I'd also love learning how it was done.

6. It's very cool... but 3D software I think

I was reading the comments at YouTube and I'm pretty sure this was computer generated.

Still pretty cool.

15. Yup. That's #2.

#1 is a circus march and the vid maker is right, i don't know the name, #3 is from the Nutcracker ballet - it's the sance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - the piece tha made the celesta mainstream.

The things humans come up with.

10. CGI Images

....and the assumption that the listener is musically illiterate
(What? They've never heard of Fucik, Joplin or Tchaikovsky?)

11. I knew it instantly!

I have wonderful memories associated with that tune. In the Mid-Seventies I was in a touring production of TS Elliot's "Murder In The Cathedral" in Central Illinois, staging it in churches.(Played First Knight and Fourth Tempter.)
As we'd set up for the show, chorus member Candace would take to the church organ or piano and play that Joplin tune for us. One minister said it was the most surreal thing he'd ever seen!

12. Arrangements for inappropriate instruments

This is one of my favorites:

13. Computer generated for sure..

Shadows are from a constant set of light sources, yet the shadows do not change length as we descend, and if the light sources were traveling with us to keep that same length, the shadows would constantly move.

One ball disappears from the left and reappears from the right, yet its track to switch sides is not seen as our view position descends.

The ball goes through the chimes, but never loses a little speed with each hit.

The ball goes down a stairway of steps, yet does not increase speed as gravity would demand, although it could be argued that each step perfectly diminishes the effect of gravity.

Overall, it is still beautifully impressive.
