Can you imagine Beethoven's reaction if he was brought back to life, realising that the song he wrote more than 200 years ago is now played by a dude with a piano to an old elephant in a forest in Thailand, and broadcasted all around the planet for 1.3 millions people to enjoy.

Those things will always be a part of human life, but we could probably reduce them all by a great deal if we stopped letting rich people use the economy as a casino. Since they own both parties and know that the government will bail them out when they crash the economy by abusing deregulation, they get carte blanche to screw us six ways from Sunday with near-impunity. Meanwhile, we could spend the rest of our lives in prison for stealing to meet our basic needs... being paid $0.27/day to work for the same assholes who were responsible for shipping all the manufacturing jobs to countries with fewer labor protections. The world is pretty messed up right now, and most problems can be traced back to what is euphemistically known as the Age of Exploration. Europe spent centuries robbing the countries we today call underdeveloped; funny how having resources stolen at gunpoint can make people poor. Scientists should study that. World War I was essentially European countries fighting over who got to rob Africa, and World War II was an attempted re-litigation of WWI. Europe spent all its time rebuilding after destroying itself over the course of two wars, so it fell on America to keep the poor countries in line. We bombed the shit out of Korea and Vietnam in an attempt to prevent their popular communist revolutions from succeeding, losing both times while managing the consolation prize of stealing part ot Korea then installing a fascist dictator. We have couped governments in the Middle East, Africa, South America... every continent except Antarctica. Americans need to get their shit together and stop our government from murdering poor people on behalf of Wall St.

Its so interesting because elephants tend to prefer sounds in a lower register, because it is easier for them to hear. Every time Mongkol turns to look at Paul it is when Paul is playing in a higher octave. As if he is confused, trying to understand where the sound went, what happened, or trying to tell Paul to play lower again. Then every time Paul plays lower notes, Mongkol turns away to sway, flap his ears, or raise his trunk in happiness. He enjoys the lower sounds more and is having a more personal engagement with lower notes. When it is higher, it is almost like a more communal experience, because he is obviously curious about what Paul is doing or how he is doing that. Such a beautiful, sensitive, and intelligent guy.

What really makes you wonder is whether it can feel those moments of tension then joyous release that music will create. I know the brain has to learn how to hear music and it's obvious that this elephant has listened to that piano more than once coz of the patience it has. If it has spent enough time listening and growing brain pathways, it may even be able to anticipate the hints at the direction that music will give you as it progresses along a piece... and that is where the music also begins to emotionally reward the listener as well. It does make you wonder if that elephant has developed that coz it sure seemed to appreciate it... :)

The dark background, with the crickets underlaying the music, the soft and melodic music, the bright spotlight on the center and the harsh shadows on the ancient beast in the back, the gentle swaying of the elephant, the oddity of the piano in the jungle, and the complete normalcy of the piano player himself, it reminds me of an absurdist painting spiraling into a light and soothing dream.

American here, but man, there really is something about Elephants that I feel sets them apart from other animals. Somewhat like Horses, but it's much more intense with Elephants. You can really tell that these intelligent animals are thinking and processing what's happening around them. The fact that we mistreat them is a very shameful thing.

beethoven famously hated elephants and frequently hired poachers to kill them for their ivory tusks, only to let the poachers keep the ivory for themselves, as a kind of poacher prank/cold blooded elephant assassination. this satisfied his need to be mysterious and the smartest person in the room, while also assuaging his lifelong phobia of elephants because of their inherent wisdom and memory. he had made many mistakes in his life, and the thought of a nearby elephant both wise enough to understand his mistake and eidetic enough to remember it kept him in a state of constant paranoia that elephants were spreading rumors about him. in a way this video is ultimately a complete spit in the face to beethoven, who was an elephant racist for really weird reasons. it also serves as elephant retribution, finally allowing an elephant ancestor to hear the music they were so deliberately deprived of so many years ago, by a proxy murderer and coward. you should learn more about beethoven before you say something so ironic and so uninformed.
@foureuro56642 жыл бұрын
@@tonoornottono Source?? Aside from whatever inane falsities you thought would be a good idea to make up, Beethoven - being German - actually loved elephants as they were powerful like the Prince Electors and always remembered slights against them (just as the German Protestants remembered the transgressions of the Pope). I think you might be projecting your own insecurities as Beethoven often *was* the smartest person in the room - people around you must have paid more mind to him while you desperately begged for attention. Wouldn't seem so farfetched as whatever drivel you bothered to write, completely unprovoked, bore barely any resemblance to reality and seemed more as a sad, broken person making a desperate last grasp to forget about how little people care about him. Look inward.

It seems music speaks to elephants in many ways, including wild elephants. Here in South Africa there used to be concerts of small orchestral groups, performing in the Kruger National Park. The audience took their chairs out beyond the fence of the campsites/lodge, and settle down in a clearing in the bush. It was well-known that after a short time the human audience would become aware of movements in the bushes, trees and grass around them. Wild elephants had heard the music and come to listen. They stood quietly and fairly close up, and calmly listened. As long as the human audience did not react suddenly, the elephants were quite content and calm, just listening. When the recital/concert ended, these gentle giants would turn and quietly walk back into the shrubs and disappear. Quite magical. And these were WILD elephants.

@@kcl7864 No, sadly. They were/are organised by the music club here in Johannesburg, and to get to one of these concerts involved a long road trip (bus) plus accommodation in the lodge, plus ticket to the concert. It is all very expensive, and sadly my budget doesn't stretch that far. But I have heard several first-hand accounts of these magical events.

If you missed the description.... it's so sad :/ Mongkol is a 61-year-old former logging elephant. His captive-held life was spent hauling trees in the Thai forest. His body shape is deformed through hard labor, he lost his right eye and tusk in this brutal logging practice. Mongkol was rescued and brought to Elephants World to spend the rest of his days relaxing peacefully in freedom by the River Kwai. I discovered Mongkol is an extremely gentle, sensitive elephant who enjoys music, especially this slow movement by Beethoven which I play to him occasionally in the day and night.

Elephants actually don’t seem to forget anything. One research tells us when her baby is killed she won’t leave the corpse and protect them from predators. While she communicates with the heard that went ahead. Few days later when she finally knows it’s her limit to catch up she leaves. Elephants learn and remember what happened where and it’s said they never make the same mistakes. And they have all sorts of communication within themselves.
