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.

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 :))

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

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. http://www.tuba-mute.com
