A nice musical detail from the film, Inception.

If you’ve seen the movie, you know that a grainy recording of Edith Piaf singing “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” is used as a cue for the dreamers. You also know that while dreaming, time slows down.

With that in mind, it turns out that the throbbing musical sting we hear throughout the movie is that original piece of music… slowed down.

From the guitarist:

I am the guitar player, my name is Olle Hemmingson and i live in Sweden. There has been some asking about my guitar, it is a Gibson Les Paul Signature, i bought it used around 1975 and it’s the best guitar I ever had. The bridge is for adjusting the strings in all ways and the strings are locked in the top. There is a movie with “Sweet Georgia Brown” and a one with “Lover come back to me” to[o]. I did not send the movies to YouTube, but it’s fun that people seems to like it.

enjoy your Friday.
