György Ligeti - Atmosphères - 2001: A Space Odyssey

[@helloufoundmychannel6055]

I love how it actually feels like space. An horrifying empty void with even more horrifying things out there.

[@randy5655]

60 years for me. The movie is largely non-verbal and not designed to answer questions but rather to raise them. A rare masterpiece of movie making.

[@1who4me]

It’s also to make us realize space travel is lonely and very dangerous. Anti Star Trek

[@randy5655]

True.@@1who4me

[@mikebasil4832]

Indeed. 2001: A Space Odyssey should have been the first science fiction movie to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

[@RandomDudeOne]

I love how Kubrick at times lets the movie become simply a piece of abstract art.

[@mikebasil4832]

Same. Most especially the Beyond The Infinite sequence.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

Hard to believe it's been 5 years. 6:15 I like how this ties in to a theory that when Space Baby Bowman goes back to the Earth, it is not the Earth from 2001 A.D. but the Earth from 10,000,000 B.C., and that either He becomes the Monolith, or Bowman is the spark through the Monolith that grants the hominids the intelligence to evolve into the race that will give birth to David Bowman, to start the cycle anew.

[@cflmaior]

Only for the record, György Ligeti would be 100 years old today (Sunday, May 28th, 2023).

[@maciejrzepczyk6562]

I'm a great fan of Ligeti. He captivated me ever since I heard the second movement of the second string quartet as a standalone piece during a concert. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

[@albertowen1025]

Could listen to this for years and still be mystified by the meaning of it all. It has taken me half a lifetime to figure out the true meaning behind the movie and Arthur C. Clarke's novel...and it's still incomphrensible. 40+ years of watching, reading, and listening should have by now given me a clear answer!

[@OriAngelic]

Why do you want to know ? Why do you think there's any meaning in this movie - beyond fiction - worthy off searching your whole life....

[@mariussielcken]

Watch Rob Ager

[@kaylons]

There’s just a way that David moves in the beginning that creeps me out. It just screams total fucking terror

[@lukebingus9432]

I think it perfectly conveys the immensely unquantifiable nature of the "Star Gate" or whatever this form of passage he was sucked into is.

[@Goetterdaemmerung86]

This has always been not only the first, but the quintessential Atmospheres recording in my ears

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Simply incredible. This piece also got put to great use in the 1972 BBC production A Warning To The Curious, it made it absolutely terrifying!

[@shusarik]

Apart from the imaginative musical selections, they accurately depicted space walks a year before we actually landed a man on the moon in 1969! The film is simply iconic.

[@angeldearte]

In many things today it can be said that reality has surpassed fiction when asked "do you think Hal has intelligence" they say "he's programmed to act as if he does" and we can say this today also of many software and computer programs, they act as if they had intelligence but they are programmed to act as if they have it, just like in 2001

[@angeldearte]

The answer is clear. It is a triptych formed by a common denominator, the black monolith. The end when the astronaut is in a kind of classic room, and those strange voices are heard, they are the aliens who are talking and deliberating what they want to do with him, it represents that he is inside a box or room, decorated with elements of the Earth so that he feels more accompanied, but look at the environment of the room, it is very artificial. Actually, the classic furniture is hollow boxes, the lighting is not on the ceiling, it is on the floor, this is totally absurd, and He walks above squares of white light The aliens that are not seen but heard talk about their things, and they have prepared these special rooms for you imitating things on Earth And Commander Woman in the classic room prepared for him, there he does not feel so much nostalgia for Earth

[@LeoSalazar]

​@@angeldearteAnd now, one year on from your comment, AI has raised that question all over again.

[@seantressel1754]

This feels like it could have been used in the V'ger Wormhole scene from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), with Jerry Goldsmith's music mixed in between Ligeti's haunting score...

[@glenncambray9783]

Kubrick was a true artist.

[@berryseinfeld6772]

The sound of death. Of birth. And everything in between.

[@TheSantaCruzn]

Genius.

[@whiteelectricwind]

GREAT JOB! BEST VISUAL EDITING I'VE EVER SEEN IN A CUSTOM KZbin PIECE.

[@whiteelectricwind]

@@acbulgin2 The Visual/Musical edit is not that which is in the Film and I am complimenting the interpretation in the sequence of clips chosen here to gracefully align with the time duration of Ligeti's composition.

[@60secondfairytales]

wow that was an amazing experience

[@north1036]

Such an amazing movie and excellent soundtrack. Good video editing!

[@bryanedwards7805]

So very beautiful & breathtaking!!!!

[@pitoresk83]

The mystery of the absolute . In the end the beginning and the end are the same.

[@joeeaton2422]

Exactly correct

[@ItsCosmoTewulf]

My god, it's full of stars!

[@rkr6237]

What else was he expecting to see up there?

[@joeeaton2422]

If I were ever to do mescaline, this is the music I would want to listen to.

[@Vingul]

I think you'd regret it. Not the mescaline, necessarily, but the combo.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I will have to reach out to JTVFX to see if he is willing, but I always wanted to see the very end of *Alien* end with Ripley doing her last call, but instead of fading to credits from her hypersleep pod it fades to the outside to see the rear of the Narcissus, with *Aram Khachaturian - Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio)* playing as the Narcisus slowly but surely moves away.. with the "Narcissus" theme we hear in *Aliens* kicking in the moment the Narcissus reaches a point where it blends in with the stars... Have you thought about creating a video using *György Ligeti- Requiem For Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, 2 Mixed Choirs And Orchestra* with... well.. *The Sopranos?* Like the build up to a (or multiple) kills?

[@VectorSpector]

Great ideas! Never thought of that mix, thanks for the request!

[@GeorgesGondard]

Phenomenal!!!

[@sabojezles]

Excellent editing.

[@carolnorton2551]

Parts of this just grates on my tinnitus SO badly.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

well at least it's not boneitis.

[@FromItaly-ale8s7]

The stargate Is my Favourite scene

[@richardbeardsley3769]

Wondrous - lost in space.

[@𰆌]

Im so surprised that he made such a terrifying music

[@pitoresk83]

Life is just a dream by a higher conscience by God

[@danielkraemer5744]

Watched this movie on acid not disappointed

[@gematr14a42]

That sounds like a nice way to meet god

[@TheRealNormanBates]

DO watch *The Matrix* on acid. All of the fight scenes appear sped up like a Benny HIll comedy, and the agents in the interrogation room have green scales. Do NOT watch *Pink Floyd: The Wall* on acid, especially the stairway scene. Gave me nightmares for a week.

The terrible creation . With the eyes of the polarity the transcendence is terrifying. The first nature cannot be understood with our understanding

[@horrorfanandy4647]

It is beauty and fear and all that we cannot understand condensed into a piece of Art. That goes for both the film and this music.

[@mikemanners1069]

Dave Bowman at the beginning of this video looks like me at 530 am alarm goes off and no caffeine in my bloodstream....just a quivering mass of imbecility....not quite human but still alive....barely....
