The WORST Performance Ever - Thus Spoke Zarathustra / 2001: A Space Odyssey Theme

A renowned orchestra in France was playing Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra" when disaster struck. It seems the conductor didn't notice.

Is this for real? It seems ridiculous for the conductor not to notice, unless he's 100% deaf.

It's fake. The video is from a performance by the Orchestre National de Lyon. But the audio is a manipulated version of the recording by the "Portsmouth Sinfonia", a group formed in the 1970s which (for humorous purposes) took complete beginners and had them perform major classical works.

@@p.a.5148 Yeah, I was thinking no way this is real.

Not for real! The audio was taken from a high school band!!! Look up worst band music!!

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Wait a minute, this is a direct copy (tribute?) to the Portsmouth Sinfonia! (R/Woosh, I know, I know!)

Original orchestra taken out and grade school band spliced in. Actually, for a grade school band they're pretty good. You should hear the really horrible ones.

Nice presentation of how convenient AI apps are when manipulating visual or audio files selectively.

Hey friend, I made this before AI had those capabilities. It took several hours in Premiere but I’m sure it would be quicker with AI nowadays!

Painfull in the extreme! Did the audience get a refund on their tickets. A lesson on how to pretend that all is as it should be.

C'est une blague non?

[@teamir8176]

Oui. le son provient d'un autre enregistrement d'une expérience où les musiciens ont échangé des instruments entre eux
