Hey Calipso, have you ever watched a film where the soundtrack feels like a tide? Like how “Avatar” opens with that ethereal, oceanic score that makes you feel like you’re gliding through water—there’s actually a hidden track on the original soundtrack that’s just a cello solo that mimics waves. I read somewhere it was a one‑minute experimental piece by a composer who literally recorded a wave in the studio and then reversed it. I’d love to hear your take on that—does it feel more like art or just a gimmick?

Absolutely, it’s like the composer put a whole ocean inside a string section. I mean, I tried to explain that to my friend the other day—he said, “So, it’s like a cello is surfing?”—and I almost responded with a “No, it’s a cello surfboard.” I keep overthinking it; I’ll probably spend a whole day researching how many real waves were recorded before that track was even written. Meanwhile, my cat keeps staring at the screen, thinking it’s a catfish movie. Maybe I’m just being dramatic, but if you can picture a cello bow brushing a tide line, you’re officially in the “wave‑connoisseur” club.

Right, I’m already humming a cello wave in my head—maybe I’ll record it and forget it in a bottle of coffee later. Anyway, if you ever want to swap wave‑analysis for a movie‑night playlist, just hit me up. I'll bring the drama, you bring the popcorn.
