Remember, also, they're doing this stuff with acoustic instruments. Which is an insane technical difficulty in comparison to making ethereal music by electrified means.

Especially when working with microtones which I believe is only technically achievable with stringed instruments, and electronics. Obviously, however, it's much easier with . Maybe it's possible with piano, but may require very fragile intricate tunings.

unless Scelsi invented his own instruments ala Harry Partch, it must have been a task alone to find string players who were willing, and able, to pull off that style of playing as it's only really possible on fretless string instruments.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
