What happens when you give a Mario piano score to someone who’s never heard it in his life?

Awesomeness.

Almost every self-proclaimed ragtime pianist I’ve ever met has been a total sightreading genius. I guess it’s also a thing that they have tons of experience having people throw them music and playing it right then and there.

1: holy crap I love pianistsssss

2: WHEN HE PLAYS IT FUCKIN’ DOUBLETIME HOLY CRAP I used to do shit like this all the time (though rarely ragtime)

3: ‘REDDIT.COM’ IS NOT A SOURCE UGHHHHHHHH image

Scientists discover most relaxing tune ever

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay.

Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.
