Gigachad Hears Two Masterpieces

(let* ((dream ((λ (続) (display #夢) 続) (call/cc (λ (c) c)))) (reality ((λ (続) (display #現) 続) (call/cc (λ (c) c)))) (dream reality)) Right ear Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring (MIT 6.001, SICP) Left ear Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring (End of Evangelion, Shiro Sagisu)

A muscular silver figure sits between labels for his right and left ears. One ear is associated with Bach’s “Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring” as presented through MIT 6.001 and SICP, while the other points to Shiro Sagisu’s Evangelion version; the accompanying music turns the contrast between academic seriousness and anime grandeur into an absurdly majestic joke. It works as a reaction to enjoying two extremely different but related versions of the same musical idea at once. EN: A muscular silver figure sits between labels for his right and left ears.
