Wait for 40 seconds in. This really made me crack up.

they tried to make the camera move dramatic, but the mute took up the a majority of the screen. It just made it comical...to me atleast.

Anyone recognize the chord at the 40 second mark?

It sounds like the old Star Trek transporter.

And the spaces are filled in with quarter-tones--or closer.

I thought it was an intentional shot of the entire brass section with mutes... including the tuba. I thought it was kind of cool.
I didn't particularly care for the music, but at least it was performed well (or, so we can trust
)

There were actually four pieces by Ligeti (including Atmospheres) in Kubrick's 2001. Fun fact.

He's using a Schlipf-mute - made by Johann Schlipfinger in Austria. Best mutes available in my opinion - I own 2 of them! His straight mutes are available in a myriad of different sizes to fit the instrument exactly.
