Today's... "what?!" Wikipedia post: > In 2007, Steenburgen underwent minor surgery on her arm, which required a general anaesthetic; shortly thereafter, she began experiencing "music (...) playing in her head day and night". She subsequently took music lessons so that she could write down what she was hearing, and by 2013 had almost 50 songwriting credits. #wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Steenburgen#Music_career

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place 😦 "In 2018, her composition "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)" as performed by Jessie Buckleyfeatured as the climactic musical moment in the film Wild Rose and won Steenburgen several awards, including Critic Choice Award. On October 30, 2020, Steenburgen signed a global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group." 😮

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place Particularly fascinating given she later acted in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, whose premise is basically that.

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place oh, huh: having skimmed the whole article, that now makes it funnier that she played Ted Danson's love interest in the 2nd season of Netflix's A Man on the Inside

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place General anaesthetic is a major event. Some people go into comas and never come out. Other serious things can happen. TLDR: it's not just a sleep, it's effectively a temporary induced coma, with all the possibilities for neurological sequelae like this. Most people aren't so lucky, and if they suffer effects, it is not as pleasant as ongoing pleasant music.

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place Sounds a bit like auditory– synesthesia. where a a neurological stimulation translates to hearing sound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/21942.Best_Synesthesia_Books

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place was the anesthetic by any chance… ketamine?

  • @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place This puts a new spin on the age old question of if it’s the artist that creates the art, or the art that finds the artist.

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place interesting and mysterious! I've temporarily experienced something like this as a side effect of playing "binaural beats" through stereo earbud headphones. a 110Hz tone through lefty, and 140Hz tone through righty, both at 60dB. the warble effect is induced and shortly after that the effect of music plays in my head. I love it! often wished I could record it or play it. I should learn. no idea if that can be replicated by others but it absolutely can be tested out. good fun.

    @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place Interesting: She's married to #TedDanson and...coincidentally plays his live interest in Series 2 of #ManOnTheInside. She plays a college music professor...who writes music.

  • @mtothevizzah@mastodon.gamedev.place I, too, have music playing in my head that won't go away. Yesterday it was "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. Today it is "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be back to "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott, which is my usual brainworm.
