okay I just googled this and it’s real??? damn that’s crazy

I’ve never seen Ghost In The Shell.

you know ironically against this silly hypothetical there actually *has* been a very long standing authenticity criticism of that piece: namely that Penderecki had written and performed it under a seemingly academic title 8’48 or something, and only gave it the title Threnody for The Victims later. This often really disappoints people because the kind of traditional composer fantasy is supposed to be that he wrote the music in a fit of impassioned engagement with the atrocity and it poured from his heart, whereas the truth is more that he engaged it later and found that piece in it’s actuality to be reflective of it. Of course people often regard this as a scam on his part, charlatan etc. but it’s kind of funny that this is actually a huge discourse about the piece
