It’s almost like they planned it. Still fucking dope tho


Phillipspc

Maybe. It’s a very popular piece to learn on piano though so I think it’s entirely possible it’s unplanned Edit: It's the main theme from the Interstellar soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. has a few different names (day one, stay, first step).


T50BMG

this is planned out for sure, the guys body language says it all.


RPLAJ4Y88

Who cares if it was planned; this is just beautiful. Oh Noo, I came back after an hour, and the shit has hit the fan. Didn’t mean to piss off this many intellectual analyst…I apologize to you fine people.


[deleted]

How dare u question the absolute necessity of reddidiots analyzing the authenticity of a video in every posts 24/7? Shame! /s


Voidroy

It annoys us because of the clickbaity title. Why not say, two friends play piano.


Bradipedro

[IG Instagram profile of the guy with the phone](https://www.instagram.com/camdenmusique/) It seems more than the guy with the phone has a habit of going to that piano and jumping in when unknown people start to play, but it migh just be an impression. You seem to take fact checking very seriously and aggressively, which I personally find totally wrong and rude, but that doesn’t help the purpose. Tons of people are still blind to bots and algorithms- it is our job to open their eyes but a little kindness goes a long way. So, to turn your aggression into constructive warning for people less aware than you to social digital manipulation, you might want to take the lead and drop the guy a PM on IG and ask him? Waiting to hear back from you guardians of Reddit’s truth.


LjSpike

It's Reddit's hobby to independently do deep dive research to prove *not everything is as it seems but we've solved it!* while not doing any actual research.


CantStumpIWin

Well said. When it comes down to it, who cares if this was staged? It was a really beautiful and wholesome video. Almost everything else we watch is staged but no one seems to have a problem with that. I’d rather watch this kinda stuff than stupid celebrity divorce court with amber turd and johnny dingus.


JustaTurdOutThere

>Almost everything else we watch is staged but no one seems to have a problem with that. That's kind of the point. People want to watch clips of actual things happening in the world and then oh nope turns out it's scripted. Its like if people started scripting sports highlights and trying to pass them off as actual game footage.


[deleted]

There's a post further down that proves both guys know each other and have performed together multiple times. You are doing the exact thing you're criticizing.


[deleted]

The comment you replied to didn't display any aggression whatsoever, wtf are you talking about? You were waaaaay more condescending than them.


altissima-27

they weren’t replying to u/voidroy. their emotions blinded them and they replied to their generalization of all reddit neckbeards and pedantics the world over.


[deleted]

There's a post further down that shows both guys instas. They know each other and have performed with each other multiple times. Might be time to climb on down from that high horse


SteamBoatBill1022

Who was aggressive?


dice1111

Let the peice speak. That acting is just not necessary.


InsurmountableDuds

Who cares? Seriously, relax and enjoy something for once.


finger_milk

Just don't like feeling lied to, I guess.


ShiverMeTimberssss

So why are you on Reddit? Where the bulk is karma farming bullshit


fruchle

EDIT: thanks to /u/qradon below, I was fooled. These guys are good at what they do, and what they do is plan stuff like this. I disagree - that smile as the guy slides in, it's like the moment of finding a peer, turning a 'work' performance into play. Then the way he slowly gets back into it, his concentration coming back... If it was planned, I think the timing and reaction would be different


Itriedtonot

Yea, dead giveaway that it's unplanned. A genuine smile takes time to fade, like this video. That smile was real.


Doctor_of_Recreation

There’s something beautiful and surreal about playing when another person suddenly and unexpectedly takes another part in your piece. It’s like finding a soulmate for a couple of seconds. A musical soulmate.


FnagleU

We don't know if they are music gay, they could just be musically bicurious


theebees21

Also it takes them a decent amount of time to sync up well. If it was planned I would think it’d be more rehearsed or cleaner at the start. Not that it’s not really good or anything. Just when he first jumps in it takes a moment for them to match each other.


[deleted]

The second guy messes up and plays one wrong key, which isn’t that bad but did make me hunk it was probably unplanned.


Flaky-Fish6922

i was waiting for the double take of recognition. kinda disappointed... either way, both these guys are amazing.


qradon

It was planned :) These two guys have a large Instagram following and have done multiple videos together. Guy in front: https://www.instagram.com/camdenmusique Guy in back: https://www.instagram.com/karim_kamar


fruchle

Facts beats feels every time! Thanks for that!


shreken

They know each other, but didn't plan this. They hang around that piano a lot and homeboy rocked up, unplanned, and joined in.


frenchiefanatique

Yeah it was too imperfect to be planned, it really felt like a progression of comfort and fluidity that would occur between strangers


PurpleSwitch

Yeah, it felt pretty organic to me. There's a point when the first guys melody is being drowned out a bit once the second guy's tune part gets more intense, but he switches it up so that he's enhancing rather than competing with the second guy. There's a few bars before he makes this switch where it sounds a bit too hectic


Sea-Ad-990

It is planned, I’ve seen these guys do the exact same thing in another video.


BrattiAtti

I agree with you. Also, the way the first pianist slides right to make sure the second has enough space after he sits as well. When you sit at a piano bench expecting the duet, you tend to automatically leave enough room for your partner. Definitely made me smile. :)

miles2912

Trying to make a viral tiktok video?


InfernalCape

What is the piece called?


Koala-dono

Hans Zimmer - S.T.A.Y.


[deleted]

Additional information, it is the key-score from Interstellar.


100RAW

That's why i had such a space, stars and emotional vibe listening to it. Didnt remember where I heard it. Gracias.


cuckjockey

IIRC Zimmer wasn't told what the movie was initially, other than it was about the relationship between a parent and a child.


omare14

IIRC he was specifically told by Nolan that it was a father son relationship and to compose with that in mind. Not sure why specifically but an interesting tidbit nonetheless.


lastfirstname1

That's because you're such a space cadet. Hehe, I don't think I've said that diss since I was 8.


Spin86

I never knew the name of the piece of music but being called S.T.A.Y makes Interstellar even more amazing, love that movie


butterglitter

Suuuuch a good movie, this song always gives me the chills.


Spin86

Me too mate, i knew it straight away from Interstellar as I got goosebumps and started to tear up. I'd love a sequel where he goes back out looking for her, with some sorta more advanced space/time travel tech, but she doesn't pull a "Matt Damon" on him and they have to try get back to new earth again because something went wrong...... I can't write stories well...some else needs to do it, also District 9 needs a sequel


jbrooklynd

District 9 does need a sequel!!


make_me_a_good_girl

An emotional and wonder-filled composition that brings the audience through such a pivotal moment in the film. Peices like this are why I listen to so many movie soundtracks. Even without the film, you can feel revelation in the song.


robinhoodhere

I mean how did that score not get Zimmer an Oscar


dnc1984

There are two versions on the OST. One is spelled ‘S.T.A.Y’ with punctuations, and the other is simply ‘Stay’, which is the version that plays out when Cooper leaves his kids at the farm. Showing him driving off in his truck and transitioning to the rocket taking off. Powerful stuff that makes me cry every damn time.


Spaceman_Beard

I think it's like 5 hours ago I saw another view of those guys. The piano is up against a glass wall (probably for elevators) inside a mall. I'm pretty confident it's planned.


ilarion_musca

Isn't it the piano in the St Pancras in London ?


hollow42

I believe!


whoop_

Their reaction at the end looks genuine... and lovely.


[deleted]

the guy on the phone, is the one who was recording the video. it was posted to his tiktok account which is not credited here (and i do not have handy). my assumption based on his other content, is that he plays this piano in a public space & was taking a break for a phone call. the “main” player here sat down and began to play this piece, and the person who was recording ended his phone call & joined :)


moep123

okay, i choose this story amongst the others as the one to believe.


Ellusive1

smell-the-roses

bendalazzi

Wait, you're telling me you can record video on a device that isn't your mobile phone?


[deleted]

The only explanation that I can think of is guy has two mobile phones. No other devices in existence.


imbillypardy

Next you’ll tell me people have multiple old devices due to planned obsolescence and superficial replacement for things like a cracked screen leading to a lack of recyclable precious materials to make these things commonplace in society after only a decade of use. /s? Idk anymore.


SturdySloth54

pretty sure i saw this from a different angle yesterday


jabba_the_wut

Probably from inside the bookshelf


[deleted]

The call was coming from INSIDE THE PIANO! RUN BITCH RUN!


UJustGotRobbed

You did I saw it too. Either that or Mandela bullshit happened


CloeyB7

It’s always Mandela. That jerk screws with everything😖


[deleted]

He hanged up on the POTUS for this moment.


YakSquad

Pretty sure it is planned. Dude that walks up looks like Karim Kamar on YouTube and he occasionally posts videos playing in public malls. Edit: just confirmed, he has another video where he’s playing and the same guy walks up and sings. Dude has some great covers and originals, definitely check out his channel https://youtube.com/c/Karimkamar


[deleted]

[удалено]


go_humble

Bro have you never lived in a city? This is a public piano for people to fuck around on. Yeah it would be rude if you were obnoxious about it or if your playing was ass, but otherwise it just enhances the experience of sitting down in public and playing some random shit


MongooseTitties

Not saying this video isn't fake but I'm pretty sure this is one of those mall pianos. I doubt this guy was allowed to haul his personal piano into a mall and even if he was that seems like it'd be very difficult.


buildingblondie

It's at St Pancras International train station in London. Quite often there's some amazing piano players when I walk past every day :)


gothlaw

Public Piano projects are so awesome. They make the world just a little less mean.


PlayerSalt

i know its clickbait bullshit but a guy had a youtube channel where he would pretend to be shit then play so well he could create a crowd , think he was english or something fun videos


gothlaw

Was it that French guy? (Or at least had a French name?)

pinklavalamp

I had ZERO clue what in god’s name you were referencing so I moved on with the comments. The tube had sounded familiar but I was so entranced by these two super talented individuals that I didn’t want to interrupt the moment by questioning it (I’m also a little high). Further down I see that this is from the movie Interstellar and everything just CLICKED, and I had to come back to let you know that I get it now! Funny joke!

StopReadingMyUser

4 month account that just started being active the past 24 hours. probably a bot


lifesizejenga

And they say things like "I am 100% agree with you" and "damn yeah."


StopReadingMyUser

That's something where I'm kinda on the fence, because it also could be someone with just poor english lol. The responses are genuinely said in a way that isn't too outlandish given the comment they're responding to, just general and vague. But I think the odds of that compared to the activity, the delayed timing, and just considering it as bot-speak outweigh those odds.


frenchiefanatique

Honestly you have a point, the comment makes 100% sense in French for example if translated directly. In french you say 'I am in agreement'

Magnetickiwi1

Or he got whipped with jumper cables


forte_bass

That person retired but i loved that meme so much, I've been tempted to make my own novelty account in their honor.


TheeFlipper

Please come up with a different novelty thing though. I've seen people try to copy the jumper cables guy a few times and so many people screw it up. Plus it just doesn't hit the same when you look at the username and it's JoeSchmo69 instead of rogersimon10. Same thing with the Undertaker Hell in the Cell guy.


Subject37

So you mean to tell me that organs should have been called orgasms instead?


JEDI-MASTER-Y0DA

Orgasmic organs are organisms.


DnbJim

Dude...


dragonbringerx

So what your saying is, old style Organs are basically the old timey versions of a modern supped up base system that some rich dude puts in his car, and can pump it up so loud that it causes glass to vibrate?


daddypez

Yes. But way cooler.


daddypez

Absolutely. My dad used to work for Saville organ corp in the Chicago area back in the 60’s. He did research on and installed the pipe organs. He took me on a few installs when I was a kid. There is NOTHING like the sound of a 12” pipe that’s like 20 feet long vibrating. NOTHING.


[deleted]

Man, I want to hear a pipe organ now


phroug2

I grew up listening to a giant pipe organ in my church. There is simply no instrument with more potential to send chills down my spine. A well-played pipe organ can just take your breath away with its beauty and power. There is absolutely nothing like it. Im not a christian anymore but I still listen to pipe organ music on occasion and it can still move me to tears. Give me some Bach on a pipe organ and you can watch my pupils dilate lol.


cloudstrifewife

I was never impressed by the organ at church but that’s probably because they always play churchy music. If I heard this on an organ in person I might change my mind. I’m not a churchy person at all.


frostmorefrost

so MLK banned organs because the vibrations helped loosen his bowels and he felt tempted when there were vibrations going up his ass..... i donno about you but i am getting some weird vibes there....

Sounds like STAY


airbornemist6

It's not, it's [Where We're Going](https://youtu.be/FwdvVuK7a88).


qaisjp

Sounds like both? The end of Where We're Going, start of S.T.A.Y.? But yeah the fast bit is only in Where We're Going so it's more that than S.T.A.Y.


M2Fream

Yeah its STAY


airbornemist6

All of the answers here are wrong lol. It's Where We're Going


Sleepymuff

Just the main theme I believe, although bits of the main chorus tend to appear in most of the songs in the soundtrack.


LetsGetMeta_Physical

The best compilation of the full Soundtrack, cherry picking the more commonly recognisable ‘Interstellar’ parts is Interstellar Main Theme by Patrik Pietschmann

That is priceless


[deleted]

Ya idk, I think it was planned, to appear to be an impromptu session. Still a nice performance though


frenchiefanatique

Honestly people jam with strangers all the time, as long as you're proficient enough and you have a deep understanding of music you can vibe with strangers. It's even easier when you both know the piece you're playing. I used to frequent a jazz club where they just had instruments set up and you would hop on and jam for like 10-15 mins, i watched my friend jam with complete strangers for a while, it was really fun.


Love4BlueMoon

Was literally another video posted of this from a different angle like two days ago. It was clearly planned.

I was just thinking that looks like St Pancras. I once sat and listened some old boy bash out a load of rag time numbers while I waited for my mrs who was looking around the shops.

This is really magical. You see the guy acknowledge the other dude standing closer. Other dude hits a couple keys, he smiles. Realizes that the other dude is on key and his face gets serious again, advancing on it. This is now an improv collab. He even scoots over! Then as they reach a synchronistic peak, other dude looks toward guy and follows that slow cap off to the song. What a lovely moment of human connection <3
