(Non-opposable) thumbs up
I know I've been posting a lot of videos lately, but this one is too good to pass up (this via Minnesota Orchestra Vice President and GM Bob Neu):
It's really kind of a fantastic idea, and musically it holds together with thematic threads (the closing few shots are actually repeats of the opening ones, so it gives it a nice sense of coming full circle). I particularly like the sudden harmonic shifts (appropriately coordinated with the...uh...soloist). I wonder, was the solo part notated? Or was this done purely with visual cues? In any case, a charming piece (kudos to composer/conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis) and a wonderfully innovative idea. With video screens, no less...

Okay, that's the greatest thing ever. I liked the music. The perfectly timed harmonic shifts were amazing.
Bah. My cats prefer minimalism...
Sam, your seething jealousy is apparent. You're such a stage mother.
Just admit it. Your cats are no-talent hacks.
Kate and Sam, my microtonal dogs beat your felines any time.
