What does this tell us about how our perceptual system binds sounds, movement, and objects together to create this unusual experience?

It is weird on how much technology has advanced from when it first started. it is amazing to see something like this and to hear it in different beat and you see the image of a mans face move and mimic the sounds. it reminded me of Mr. Hollands opus where the light go with the beat of the sound as the orchestra plays.

This is a very amusing video! This nicely demonstrates how our visual intelligence constructs what we expect to see; although all the music is performed digitally, the faces give movement to the instruments and when paired with sound create a very exciting and musical scene! This also shows how even music is subject to our individual perception and construction. What sounds like nonsense to one person may sound like delicately-composed masterpiece to another. Taken individually, each "note" played is actually a man's voice making a random sound. Assign these seemingly random sounds to an instrumental location and you can form beats and even melodies. This video reminds me of my digital drum kit. I can assign preloaded instrumental sounds to the drum pads or record my own sounds and create music that, to me, is unprecedented. To mozart, however, this 'music' might be perceived as pure noise.
