In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

paganini's daemon: a most enduring legend
a music documentary on google video
the life of paganini is examined by the documenteurs.
the video was mostly still shots of drawings and old advertisements. at some points, violin performances were presented. the violinist pictured was obviously playing the music.
check out: 1 picture in particular of a devil with a violin sitting on the side of a bed.
I thought it was pretty cool. it made me want to pick up my instrument.
