Filmmaker Sean Reynard has created and embodied a rather interesting bespectacled, short-banged character he named Quentin Smirhes. As it turns out, Smirhes just launched his own YouTube channel and with it, an amazing array of surreal videos.

One such video features a slightly befuddled Smirhes playing Gnossienne No. 1 by experimental artist Erik Satie on recorder with accompaniment by a Birdbox Orchestra. Guiding Smirhes through the song was a mysteriously pale hand belonging to an apparently insistent teacher from the 18th century.
