Today’s episode titled 88 Keys,  Phil Rood and Kari Simms talk about the music that makes  HBO’s series ‘Westworld’  series so brilliant. Take a moment to listen to our favorites and songs that are integral in the tone and feel of Westworld.

The piano got its start as a modification of the harpsichord, which had 60 keys. The first pianos, therefore, usually had 60 keys. 60 keys represented five octaves, since there are 12 notes in an octave. … In the late 1880s, popular piano manufacturer Steinway created the 88–key piano that is the standard today.

The Man behind the music of Westworld: Ramin Djawadi

Born in Duisberg, Germany the now 42 year old master-composer was first discovered by none other than Hans Zimmer who recruited him to Remote Control Productions after Djawadi graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music in 1998.

Today’s episode titled Déjà vu (a feeling of having already experienced the present situation) is all about Michael Crichton’s original full feature film ‘Westworld’ which HBO’s series ‘Westworld’ is based off of.  We touch base on the similarities and differences between the two. But before that, let’s get into what’s new on the ranch.

Déjà Vu is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning “already seen.” When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished.

In this week’s episode Phil Rood takes the head mic to try his hand at hosting while Kari is stuck at home with the “Wilford Brimley Flu”.  Well, that’s at least what she sounds like.  Phil’s Doppelganger or “mini me”, Austin joins him to discuss his first viewing of the pilot episode of #HBO’s #Westworld, “The Original.”

In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger or doppelga(e)nger (/ˈdɒpᵊlˌɡɛŋə/ or /–ˌɡæŋə/; German: [ˈdɔpəlˌɡɛŋɐ] ( listen), literally “double-goer”) is a look-alike or double of a living person, sometimes portrayed as a paranormal phenomenon, and is usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. In other traditions and stories, they recognize one’s ‘double-goer’ as an evil twin. Doppelgaenger is a german word which also means double walker.

The word ‘doppelgänger’ is often used in a more general sense to describe any person who physically or behaviorally resembles another person. In digital marketing area this has a specific meaning which is related to brand. When someone creates a negative portrait of a particular logo/brand of an entity, it is also known as doppelganger.
