Finds: Polyphonic Sardinia, Brazilian Hot Air Balloon culture, post-Beatles Lennon piano covers

John Lennon’s post-Beatles love letter to his newborn but played on piano by a japanese amateur musician. Stripped down piano reveals the beauty of the melody. 

Zombie marionettes? Disco ragdoll? Collective effervescence? Watch the part at 1:30. Visually, there’s a lot of dynamism despite minimal edits. 

Polyphonic choral from Sardinia. Ancient music, predates Christianity. Their facial expressions contrast with the passion of the music. 

I love seeing doc trailers on topics that I did not know existed. Brazil’s underground hot air balloon scene? Yes.
