From the perspective of a person who has taught at a major American conservatory for many years, I should say that this guy is doing something admirable by challenging the assumption that most conservatory faculty make that the only music worth playing is "the classics". The classics are great -- ridiculously great, in fact -- but this dude is taking a risk and doing something reasonably well that hasn't really been done much before.

Also, keep in mind, he's an undergraduate, and so if his technique isn't 100% there, it doesn't mean that in five years' time he won't be amazing. For gods sake, when I was an undergraduate, I had nowhere near the technique I got later in graduate school.

I wonder what the first sound was.

I heard it. In BigBangSound_1.wav, you can hear God taking in a very deep breath (before he hummed the Universe out).

Funny thing is, if you scrutinize this, they label you a wacko, or some extreme religious zealot (because of stories of a parent's kid dying because the parent refused treatment based on religion.)

That's because you'd have to be a whacko or an extreme religious zealot to deny your children a safe, inexpensive, and remarkably effective treatment that all but guarantees they'll never contract a terrible disease.

It's crazy when you take your kid in, and get 4 different shots on some occasions.

No, crazy is when you don't take your kid in to get his or her shots because you read something on Usenet.

Not just crazy - irresponsible, negligent, and abusive.
