Alien technology?
on: March 07, 2013, 03:03:09 AM
Okay, so I want you to click on this link.  And when you click on this link, I want you to look at the picture.  And when you look at the picture, I want you to look at the reflection on the lid of the piano.

https://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/home/about/news-events-and-notices/events/events/template/event_item.jsp?cid=544988

What the freaking heck is that?!

The only piece I have from that album is the black mass sonata.  And through out the piece, you can freaking hear this weird ass sound and it's scary!!!  It sounds like someone's snorting their snot up their nose but with the mechanics of a harp!  What the freaking heck?  Is this some sort of alien technology?!

Is Yevgeny Sudbin from another dimension?!

Omg...

It's easier to see if you buy the album on iTunes then look at it.  Because I'm in my iPad and pianostreet SUCKS for putting pictures on here.  Like dude, why the heck do I need to make a freaking photo bucket account just to add a picture!  Whoever runs the sight needs to get on that.  Anyways, see if you can find a better picture and zoom in on the reflection.

There's like this spring or something on the piano before the strings begin.  And it makes this weird noise and is really creppy.

Ah yes, iTunes - your one stop shop for all things extraterrestrial.

Short of that, I've downloaded it, blown it up, rotated it, lightened it, darkened it and applied a dozen filters.

I still don't see anything.

It's you. The'yre coming to get you!

Perhaps they heard about your Mysterium.

It's like this metallic spring thing, and I think it's making that weird noise when you listen to him play.

Well I only have his black mass sonata from that album, but you definitely hear the weird snorting noise from the piano.

In the reflection, his right hand is pointing right at it!  It's like two inches from touching his fingers. 

Well it's his right hand in the actual picture, but his left hand in the reflection.  It's NOT the hand on top. 

The hand on the bottom is right next to it!!! >:(

It's one of two semi-circular bits on the frame. You can see them (just the top of them) in the straight pic - the other is a bit further along in the reflection and lighter.   ::)

You circled the freaking wrong thing!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

But you circled part of the thing I was talking about.  It's on the north side of the circle and turn right about...  10 degrees.

It looks like a spring or something.

If it's gold in colour, we're talking bout the same thing. See above.

But I wouldn't worry too much about aliens, especially if they are into Scriabin...There's room for all of us in the universe-

I would worry much more about a secret governmental mind control device...Don't listen to that piece anymore!

Its either a yamaha or...people breathe heavily when they play. It happens.

But yamahas sometimes sound like springs stretching, it is gross.

The snorting noise corresponds with the piece he's playing, and it's scary!
