Hello! - My voice sounds rough in this one. I can only apologise. I'm having a bit of a hard time diagnosing what's wrong with my vocal chords and how to fix it (It's also the reason that I've found it hard to make longer videos this year.). They are always covered in mucus and the more I clear my throat the worse it gets. I'm trying to get a doctors appointment to try and get some medication help along with cutting out spicing food, caffeine and dairy from my diet. As always, thank you all for your patience.
SCP always throws you a curveball. You come in expecting a fun, simple tale about a bottomless pit, and you end up with hallucinogenic cherries and obscure musicians.
Seems more like someone's prose about life is an orchestra that has no point. It feels very un-scp like in that there seems to be no reason to contain and no information to be gained. Like if someone designated lsd an scp. Seems like there should be a follow up with d class or an agent and some research or test notes.
I really hate the SCPs that are just rambling nonsense by failed novelists. There's a cabal of moderators who approve SCPs behind the scenes and it's such a circlejerk.
In the Foundation, you gotta be extremely careful. In a normal office, lunch thieves get spoiled food and hot sauce... in the Foundation, though, you get things man was not meant to know solidified into physical form and mixed in with cuts of SCP-682 just because they need new things to add to the list of termination attempts.
Shorthand: Cherries that make you hallucinate about music and dancing, inspiring many into writing of their experiences. Longform: Mental teleportation to parallel world, as expressed through song, dance and setpieces. One researcher went in too deep, and this may be more dangerous than it seems, as these pits have no bottoms.
*cherries that come from trees that are fused with people who used to be party of a concert band. They're still alive but they're chillin, making music.
I don't know if it's the way this is written but I find this really hard to follow. Something about an orchard, then cherries and hallucinations, something about a memorial orchestra, it just feels all over the place and I have no idea what's going on or what the SCP even is.
I agree, I've read and listened to thousands of SCP files and this one just feels like someone tried to write down a trip report from their first time ever ingesting hallucinogens.
To me this one comes across in the same way I have tried to explain chronic illness and mental disorders before I had the medical background to know what was what. The talk to the ever present fiddle, the inkling of what is. The death of 1 ruleset before moving to another. The feeling of scraping and crushing to fit a mold you aren't made for. If you don't understand honestly be glad. Because the feeling of knowing what this does feel like is painful to the point that knowing I finished the video already I'm considering rewatching just to feel the sensations put to words again so that I can feel satisfied again.
It's basically a very normal universe hopping SCP, but the mechanics of traveling to other universes is what makes it special, as each universe follows weird rules, and after visiting them you start to notice the weird rules that your home universe has. It also has the additional implication that all music is a window into a different universe, which is what the orchestra is about.
Well yes, and also did I read it Wright, are they selling the Cherry's to outsiders so they can continue there research, and why did everyone suddenly fall ill all at the same time?@@MichaelDeHaven
Why is this Euclid? Do not eat the cherry jam and you are good. Lock it in a box and it cannot break containment; this is the definition of "Safe." This seems like someone repurosed some unrelated purple prose as an scp without bothering to think about how it fit into the rest of the fiction.
So, this is kinda like C.S. Lewis' _The Magicians Nephew_ in terms of world hopping, then? Instead of pools of water, we have musicians that somehow suddenly connect worlds together; in our world they appear at trees bearing cherries. To eat these cherries is to be given visions and hallucinations of the worlds connected to by the musician they came from, and to eat of the musician is to be teleported to that world. (The good doctor's disappearance is caused by his eating of jam from a violinist/fiddler tree.) The problem is those alternate worlds are fundamentally unharmonious with our natures built in this reality, described here as a fiddle, a trumpet, or another prevailing instrument that restricts or contorts the doctor's nature. He finds some relief eating cherries and having literal trips to other worlds, but he only finds long-lasting satisfaction by eating the musicians and teleporting completely. (He's presumably not the first to do this, since the musicians are described as animal-mangled.) Since the musicians are spread among multiple trees in our world, this seems to be the case elsewhere (the reason why he doesn't know where he'll end up until he's learns to recognize the musicians he's about to eat). He only finally arrives home after eating the cellist, who is missing from our grove but present everywhere else (presumably each musician is missing from the world they link to from others). That's because our world is the one that resonates with the cello and is connected to from other realities by the cellist - the doctor only notices the cello integrated into our existence after being in every other musical world and returning to ours.
It's a great Summarization! I understood it easily, but the way it was "dressed up" literarily was sooo poorly done! The Core Concept behind this SCP, basically most of what you wrote, isn't that bad (it's not great either), and a VERY Talented & Experienced Writer could have done a Unique and very Interesting Article... But here, it's a missed & failed opportunity. It is yet another reminder to Writers that no matter how Cool you feel your Concept is, if it's not Clear _(as in Clearly Defined beforehand AND Simple enough),_ is Convoluted, or represents too much of a Challenge to Build a Narrative upon, it's A BAD IDEA to go forward with this Idea, as there'll inevitably be a whole lot of problems to deal with during the Writing Process, usually so many that not all can be satisfyingly resolved, the Narrative will be hard to follow _(if you ask a highly Competent University Professor, he'll be able to explain even the most Complex of Concepts in the World to a layman person in a way that is SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO FOLLOW, at every Step of the Way that it's basically impossible not to understand, and all this without ever feeling Lost or Confused!),_ with many more Issues that I won't continue to enumerate... Basically ensuring that the End Result will be poor when you use a Bad Concept as the Core of your Story/SCP Article!
@christiangauthier727 it's funny to see someone criticize writing while randomly and schizophrenically capitalizing words and using nonfunctional grammar.
6:02 you see, this is what happens when you don't label what you put in the fridge someone will eat it thinking it's normal jam and get erased from existence.
yup. tl;dr cannibalism bad, even if the blood of the not-dead musician partly merged with a tree has the consistency and appearance of delicious cherry jam
The description of the windowless room with the lights turned off is similar to how I explain the way I think about visual things as someone with aphantasia. I know what the thing looks like, I can describe it in detail, but all the lights are off.
It's normal in the case of similar Articles: the Writing is poor, taking a relatively bad Core Concept and getting lost in the Execution, ending up with a huge unfollowable mess _(unless you're really willing to make the Effort to Suffer through this to be sure that you didn't simply misunderstand the Premise)!_ And there was nothing there that was worth it.
I like having to work a bit to understand some of the scp's due to the inside baseball of the foundation presentation, but this is just purple prose as the author compares life to an orchastra.
@@its99pm this is that bad joke about eating a giant marshmallow while asleep and waking up to not be able to find your pillow. It is not clear if the cherry jam actually has a physical effect or if it just makes the eater high and invisible.
It felt so good to be alive then unlike now. Now, there is only pain, suffering, disease, poverty, isolation, depression, loss, desperation, disrespect, dishonored, death etc etc etc. I could go on but no point. I died a Virgin Boy riding a Pale White Horse. We all die alone, scared and frozen now.

Please never leave us 🥲 these other SCP channels simply can't keep up, even the few who present a matching quality - are on their 27th retelling of the same old story they've put in 10 different lists already.
I'd say it was all pretty relatable save for the cannibalism. Transdimensional travel through a convergent:divergent singularity and back again... physical recapitulation is always the curve ball... after maintaining a coherent and operational consciousness of course...

So fun when half the video is just a story within the article. Why couldn't we have gotton more tests and Foundation stuff after the story? Might as well just be a tale. What does any of this even have to do with a bottomless pit?
Interesting one. Its like as if humans tried to create a new reality using music, but of course its imperfect as all humans are. The song of creation is incomplete, and none of the instuments are harmonizing properly. No idea what the cherry trees are about though.
I get the sense that a lot of the confusion about this SCP stems (heh) from missing the wordplay that ties it all together. pit 1 of 4 noun (1) 1 a(1): a hole, shaft, or cavity in the ground b: an area often sunken or depressed below the adjacent floor area: such as (2): a space at the front of a theater for the *orchestra* 2 b: a place or situation of futility, misery, or degradation pit 3 of 4 noun (2): the stone of a drupaceous fruit pit 4 of 4 verb (2) pitted; pitting transitive verb : to remove the pit from (a fruit)
not to be guy who only thinks about the magnus archives but the mentions of setpieces and moldy animals and un-becoming oneself is all so. unknowing. deeply into this scp :]
Thanks, OP! I thought I'd lost my mind for a bit. I was like "I thought this said 3000 something?" I pulled up the info and it said 5012, so I just chalked it up to old age.😂 No biggie, Volgun. Just happy to hear your great voice acting!
I'll see if I can help, with my own botched understanding: something happened to what used to be a concert band, and where they used to play music was turned into a orchard with trees containing parts of their bodies. They seem to be alive in there and those trees create cherries that causes people to go on art-inspired drug trips. There is a weird ass entity that nobody has seen that eats the cherries and leaves notes about each tree-entity around the orchard. One day, a lead researcher dissappear after eating some of the cherry/blood juice from one of the tree-entities. They find him later, warped with some wood-made prosthetics on his lower right left and two left toes. He goes on to tell them about his literal multiverse spanning drug trip, how the tree-entity people's consciousnesses are just hanging out all mangled but chill on another plane and hos he felt musical vibrations during his whole trip. Then he came back here. I think that's it. Somehow the researcher is also the 5013-B entity that kept leaving notes around.
@@lholliday198 I'd like to add that it likely wasn't the musicians themselves who were mangled in the other worlds, as the researcher mentioned some were animals. I think those various bodies had also ingested blood or flesh from the musicians (some of whom are described as partly eaten) and portaled into the other worlds without understanding what was happening. The researcher is the only one who left notes (because it's not science unless you write it down) and in the end the only one who managed to return as he has knowledge of dimensions and was able to trial and error his way back to our world. So cannibalizing the sentient tree-people-musicians is a bad idea, and prior to the containment of the orchard random people and animals occasionally did exactly that. They never came back, and are lying mangled and still sentient on the ground of these other dimensions, seemingly... content with their state of being? Or possibly so out of it due to noise & pain that they've retreated into some kind of catatonia.
@lholliday198 I know its been a month but I need to ask. What's the Chello about? I get that the chello player was originally absent, but the resercher "noticed the chello" Does this mean he rejoined the mindscape? Or did the researcher go too deep and was freed/ejected by the chello player? The chello player's world was the real fucked up one, right? Is that what happened too his legs?
I'm near positive the "5012-#" is supposed to be read as "5012-number". "Number" and "pound" predate # meaning "hash" by a long time, and "number" makes much more sense in this context.
I was wondering where I'd heard this article before, then realised that it was from a different channel (I was confused for a moment, but that's just me) I'd seen a day or so before! I said to myself whilst watching "It'd be great if #TheVolgun did a version of this" & was correct. Cheers!
I think the different worlds are meant to be different peoples perspectives with the instruments being depression and other invisible elements that affect a person perspective
I think this is written much like a classic SCP where the why isn't explained nearly as much as the what. Everything has a description but their origin and importance is up in the air, much like my wife.
@dalemorgan8263 it's def possible, but my guess is that because one dude is missing, he used the other as like music spellcasting materials or harmonic ritual sacrifices in order to ascend to a higher level. Not godhood but to exist in a different, nearly immortal but equally formless way.

0:04 SCP-3010?
not to be guy who only thinks about the magnus archives but the mentions of setpieces and moldy animals and un-becoming oneself is all so. unknowing. deeply into this scp :]
This is definitely a real trip report. It reads like something that needs to be felt rather than explained.
Sounds like someone had an intense acid trip while listening to an Italian opera.
You were expecting a little story about a bottomless pit, but it was really me, SYNCOPE SYMPHONY!
the SCP title at the beginning says SCP-3010 instead of SCP-5012 as it should say
… damn it. You’re right. Well that’s embarrassing.
Thanks, OP! I thought I'd lost my mind for a bit.
I was like "I thought this said 3000 something?" I pulled up the info and it said 5012, so I just chalked it up to old age.😂
No biggie, Volgun. Just happy to hear your great voice acting!
The image of the orchard reminds me of the adaptation The Twilight Zone (S5, E22) did of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (Ambrose Bierce).
Normally I can understand abstract SCPs. But this one made almost no sense.
I'll see if I can help, with my own botched understanding: something happened to what used to be a concert band, and where they used to play music was turned into a orchard with trees containing parts of their bodies. They seem to be alive in there and those trees create cherries that causes people to go on art-inspired drug trips. There is a weird ass entity that nobody has seen that eats the cherries and leaves notes about each tree-entity around the orchard. One day, a lead researcher dissappear after eating some of the cherry/blood juice from one of the tree-entities. They find him later, warped with some wood-made prosthetics on his lower right left and two left toes. He goes on to tell them about his literal multiverse spanning drug trip, how the tree-entity people's consciousnesses are just hanging out all mangled but chill on another plane and hos he felt musical vibrations during his whole trip. Then he came back here. I think that's it. Somehow the researcher is also the 5013-B entity that kept leaving notes around.

Wow. Yep, I never would have figured that out on my own. Thanks👍🏼
@@lholliday198 I'd like to add that it likely wasn't the musicians themselves who were mangled in the other worlds, as the researcher mentioned some were animals. I think those various bodies had also ingested blood or flesh from the musicians (some of whom are described as partly eaten) and portaled into the other worlds without understanding what was happening. The researcher is the only one who left notes (because it's not science unless you write it down) and in the end the only one who managed to return as he has knowledge of dimensions and was able to trial and error his way back to our world.
So cannibalizing the sentient tree-people-musicians is a bad idea, and prior to the containment of the orchard random people and animals occasionally did exactly that. They never came back, and are lying mangled and still sentient on the ground of these other dimensions, seemingly... content with their state of being? Or possibly so out of it due to noise & pain that they've retreated into some kind of catatonia.
@@its99pm interesting. Thank you for the information, I missed all of that.
@lholliday198 I know its been a month but I need to ask.
What's the Chello about?
I get that the chello player was originally absent, but the resercher "noticed the chello"
Does this mean he rejoined the mindscape? Or did the researcher go too deep and was freed/ejected by the chello player? The chello player's world was the real fucked up one, right? Is that what happened too his legs?
omfg its like "the guy who didnt like musicals"
this will never not be one of my favorite SCPs. thanks for covering!
I'm near positive the "5012-#" is supposed to be read as "5012-number". "Number" and "pound" predate # meaning "hash" by a long time, and "number" makes much more sense in this context.
this is a trip report fs
Dude your content is just top notch💪
Is this what a bad acid trip feels like?
this seems kind of like a weird interpretation of yggdrasil, with each tree being tied to a specific world. and we're in one of them.
I was wondering where I'd heard this article before, then realised that it was from a different channel (I was confused for a moment, but that's just me) I'd seen a day or so before! I said to myself whilst watching "It'd be great if #TheVolgun did a version of this" & was correct. Cheers!
we keep running into each other, Paul
Can’t believe they used my lifetime ban from Golden Corral as a SCP title.
Already great.

The fiddle has long been associated with the devil. Perhaps this man experienced hell?
But what did the cello mean???
@@Balrog4242 The Cello player is missing from the trees in the universe this entry takes place in.
Wait, was this dude turned into a vibration?
Yeaahh... I'm gonna need an Extra Credit section for this one lol
Into the Pit
I must admit
INTO THE PIT
..INTO THE PITTTT!!!
That picture for sure looks like a sarlacc pit.
This brings to mind hawkwinds masters of the universe.
Feel like this is related to Syncopy Symphony
Almost certainly
Wait isn't doctor kain crow a dog? Do psychotropics work the same there? Did they retcon that, its been years since I saw a crow mention
Was transformed into a dog, so this may predate that.
I think the different worlds are meant to be different peoples perspectives with the instruments being depression and other invisible elements that affect a person perspective
I once had a bottle of south tyrol berry booze. Berries included !
the musical demension reminds me of the old Silly Symphonies cartoon Music Land
Once had a nightmare off falling into a hole and being surrounded but people who were not real.
I dont think the pit is escapable guys but Im not sure
Loved the writing in this one, gonna rewatch after taking 5gs of shrooms
Bro I'm pretty sure 5gs is OOB, at least for me. I like to do 2 gs and hike/ride bike
the author definitely dropped a couple tabs of acid before
I'm a bit confused by this one- how did the musicians get into the trees? Idk if that was ever explained
I think this is written much like a classic SCP where the why isn't explained nearly as much as the what. Everything has a description but their origin and importance is up in the air, much like my wife.
My guess, the musicians were so deep in their craft they became anomalous.
@dalemorgan8263 it's def possible, but my guess is that because one dude is missing, he used the other as like music spellcasting materials or harmonic ritual sacrifices in order to ascend to a higher level. Not godhood but to exist in a different, nearly immortal but equally formless way.
@@lholliday198
Yeah, I'd wager he wrote whatever piece they're playing.
Yoooo your back nice
Cool vibes with this one, I dig it. I understand everything but why the title is called that, though.
I just realised 'the bottomless pit' is a cherry pun
Oh, i get it. Pit as in the pit of a cherry. haha
An oddly beautiful anomaly
this is is someones dmt or salvia trip gone wrong 100%
I'd love to see you do SCP-6630 sometime
