TL;DR: HNL was studying how to give human subjects electromagnetic, most specifically visible light based, powers in order to bend space-time for their needs.

I’m going to try and condense this as much as I can because considering electromagnetism as a major force in ST (pun intended) opens up so many potential areas of analysis that can only be a brief cover of without turning into multiple essays.

Let’s go over the electromagnetic spectrum:

I hope you might already be recognizing some symbols we see often in Stranger Things, especially if you’ve been following the BTS and some location and set leaks from Season 5.

The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses the different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation - waves of energy that travel at the speed of light (and produce visible light to us at certain frequencies). You’ve probably heard of most of these, including cancer-causing gamma rays and x-rays, the visible light spectrum (the rainbow), microwaves, and radio waves.

In S5, we have the radio station as a main location for the characters. They’re also driving around in the radio station’s van, which has an image of a hawk emitting a rainbow (visible light radiation). Steve’s car also has a massive antenna on top of it. My first thoughts were that the team was trying to keep in contact with Max in hopes of her being able to hear them in her coma, considering she has a radio near her bedside. While that still may be a reason, I think the characters may have come to realize how important electromagnetic fields could be in their fight against Vecna (this where leader of the AV Club also focused on electromagnetic objects Scott Clarke may make his triumphant return).

Now to pivot onto why electromagnetism is so important to the lore of ST:

What the scientists in Hawkins Lab are likely studying is a way for human brains to produce or manipulate certain types of electromagnetic waves through telepathy. Most obviously this is seen by them having the kids try to manipulate and turn on a circle of light bulbs. Our brains actually already produce electromagnetic waves, but at a very slow frequency. The scientists are constantly measuring brain waves while conducting these experiments. We even get full shots of El’s brain waves during NINA, for example. We also see similar shots in S2 while Will is in the HNL.

You can also observe that the Hawkins National Laboratory has absolutely massive satellite dishes on it’s rooftop; ones that do not exist on the real life building but are added in post because they pose some sort of significance. Nudge, it’s because they are transmitting and receiving massive amounts of electromagnetic waves.

Why are they studying electromagnetic waves then?

They are studying electromagnetic waves because they are a method in which time travel can theoretically be achieved - the focus of the Montauk Project in which Stranger Things is based on. The military likely is investigating time travel as another war tactic against Russia.

Let us take a look at the first chapter of the Montauk Project: Experiments in Time book (they are seriously plagiarizing the living hell out of this thing):

Also, did you catch the whole 'attaching a massive antenna on the hood of my car to pick up a secret signal' thing? That's suspiciously similar to the state of Steve's car! Anyway...

The story of Stranger Things starts chronologically, as does Montauk, with the disappearance of the USS Eldridge and Project Rainbow (named after the bending of the visible light spectrum). Brenner’s father was revealed to have captained the boat in TFS, which disappeared for 12 hours into Dimension X and when it came back, the crew was killed or driven mad (except for Brenner Sr). This inspires Brenner to continue onto the Nevada project, and eventually, Hawkins National Lab’s studies. The USS Eldridge / Philadelphia Project conspiracy from real life went as follows:

They were studying electromagnetism, specifically the bending of light, to make objects invisible. This was only the first step in the experiments. Once Henry got involved and came back from his trip to Dimension X with powers, Brenner must have realized he could potentially use human subjects to manipulate electromagnetic fields themselves. Human subjects didn’t require machinery or set up and could bend space-time wherever they pleased, as long as they were able to learn the ability.

The more conspiratiorial side of Theoretical Physics proposes using circulating light beams to warp time-space, creating a wormhole in which one can literally walk through time. This is pop-science, likely not true but interesting for fiction purposes. This method of time travel being used is heavily implied due to the fact that the USS Eldridge was already able to disappear into another dimension by the bending of light.

This is how it worked in the Montauk Project book (absolutely ridiculous how much they took from this honestly):

My guess is that in the Stranger Things universe, they have not yet managed to time travel, only to create portals into this alien Dimension X. Previously, said portals were only made twice by highly advanced technological equipment. El demonstrated that she was able to open a portal all by herself - another step to achieving time travel with singular human subjects. Season five is when we will see the beginning of the time travel plot line, though it like in Montauk is likely already in a loop.

That’s where we get the name for the Rainbow Room, named after this Project Rainbow. The rainbow represents the full spectrum of visible light, and the goals of the project to bend said light into portals and eventually time travel wormholes.

Implications?:

-Well, first of all it seems very obvious by this point that we are going for a time travel plot line, and this is how it will be achieved.

-Will is heavily connected to light in general, the sun, and of course… the rainbow. He is also implied be the one involved in the time travel plot line. This will be very relevant going forward and deserves it’s own post. Potential funniness of defeating Vecna with the power of the rainbow afoot.

-Coma patients are known to have odd, barely detectable brain waves. The kids will be able to communicate with Max in her coma using the electromagnetic spectrum somehow, probably through the radio waves.

-On the farthest end of the spectrum, we have ionizing gamma ray radiation, which is known to cause cancer in humans. Expect Hopper’s daughter Sara to connect to this plot line (and perhaps Sam Owens’ dead son). There is a whole theory on this site already called radiationgate. I have not managed to look into it yet but I think they are probably onto something there. The original al pitch mentions the UD leakage into the real world causing cancer as well.

Britain's Oldest Gold Coin Hoard Discovered

The oldest hoard of gold coins in Britain, dating back 2,173 years, was discovered by a metal detectorist.

The 12 Iron Age artifacts were discovered by Stephen Eldridge while scouring fields in Buckinghamshire.

They were built in 150 BC by a tribe in what is now Picardy, France, according to experts at the British Museum.

According to speculation, the coins were likely transferred to Britain in return for Celtic mercenaries who were sent to Gaul in western Europe to fight the Romans.

A hoard from this date is extremely uncommon, even though individual gold coins from this era have been discovered before.

The coins will now likely sell for £30,000 when they are put up for auction at London's Spink & Son.

In November 2019, Mr. Eldridge, 68, discovered the coins in the Buckinghamshire community of Ashley Green.

The Catuvellauni tribe first settled in the region about 150 BC, and during the ensuing century they grew to become the most dominant tribe in Britain.

Mr. Eldridge has put the coins up for auction with London-based coin specialists Spink after going through the treasure process.

The coins' roughly 75% gold content with an alloy of silver and copper was validated by scientific x-ray fluorescence analysis, indicating the economy in which Britain's first gold coinage were circulating.

The coins are now expected to sell for £30,000 when they go under the hammer at London auctioneers Spink & Son

Gregory Edmund, of Spink & Son, said: “Whilst individual gold coins of this period have been recorded across south east England, it is incredibly rare for a trove of this size or date to be uncovered. Contemporary local coinage was simply cast base metal issues called 'potins'. Whoever successfully imported this trove of gold coins would have undoubtedly wielded influence in the region.

They would have been exported, probably in exchange for mercenaries, equipment and hunting dogs to fight the Romans or other tribes in Belgium. Twenty or thirty years after they were deposited we started to get the first British coins in the same style. These coins were in the wealthiest part of the English kingdom. A hoard of this size and period is unprecedented in the archaeological record. There was one other hoard from this period of three coins found. These coins have been well used, it is very clear they are not fresh when they are put in the ground, but still retain remarkable details of a seldom-seen Iron Age art form.

It is often speculated that the portraiture of this coinage was deliberately androgynous despite being modelled on the classical male god Apollo. The feminine styling is probably a reflection of the political significance of women in Iron Age society, that enabled such historical figures as Cartimandua and Boudicca to rise to prominence and our now national folklore. It is incredibly satisfying to assist in the proper recording, academic analysis and now sale of these prestigious prehistoric relics.”

Following the coroner's inquest, the British Museum made the decision to disclaim the coins, which means they now belong to the finder.

The landowner will receive a portion of Mr. Eldridge's earnings.

Trailer for the movie « Finestkind »

Tim Daly portrays Dennis Sykes, Wallace’s character’s father and a very successful lawyer married to Donna (Davidovich), who also happens to be the ex-wife of Ray Eldridge (Tommy Lee Jones).

youtube

The crime thriller stars Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster, Toby Wallace and Jenna Ortega. It is written and directed by Brian Helgeland, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of “L.A. Confidential” and “Mystic River,” as well as the director of “A Knight’s Tale.” “Finestkind” is set to debut exclusively on Paramount+ in December 15, 2023.

The film unfolds in New Bedford, Mass., America’s biggest commercial fishing port, and tells the story of two brothers (Foster and Wallace) from opposite sides of the tracks, who are reunited as adults over one fateful summer. When desperate circumstances force them to strike a deal with a dangerous Boston crime syndicate, a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught in the middle. This tests the bonds between brothers, friends, and a father (Jones) and his son.

—————————

By the way, New Bedford, MA is where Téa Leoni got a sound booth for ADR named after her. 😉

My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu:

Season 6

6x02 seems to show the worst and best of Elliot. Compassion for the victims, doing whatever it takes to save them. As well as, doing whatever it takes and anger management issues…

Not really a svu observation. But Lea Thompson saying: “a mother knows her child” and then playing a mother in switched at birth, where she did not in fact know her child, is kinda ironic.

6x04 is probably my favorite episode yet. The chase was done really well. The interrogation showed Stabler, changing strategies several times. Also, Munch got to shine a bit, feel like that hasn‘t happened in a while. Great attention to detail, that they all wore the same clothes over three days.

6x05 definitely started off interestingly, you have Benson lying to a victim's family and then Stabler being under IAB scrutiny.

6x07: I know the team hates it, but I love it when they have psych evaluations. Fin actually knowing when it’s time to step away is probably the most sane thing any one of the group has been in these cases. Also, it’s most likely for the best that Stabler was taken off the case. However, I would have liked to see his religion play into this. Loved that the girl realized the perp was lying due to his words and not because of something Olivia said.

6x08: Kinda annoyed that the Victim was so fixated on her portfolio, and then she just leaves it at the hospital… I knew she would accuse Stabler as soon as she “fainted”. And that was a harsh revelation about his family. I honestly don’t know whether to believe the vic or the perp. That’s why I actually love that it was open-ended, even though I usually hate when stories aren‘t wrapped up.

Benson and Stablers blank looks in 6x09 when they interviewed Ray-Ray are just priceless! Amanda Plummer plays schizophrenic really well. Jealous Benson is quite fun to watch.

Stabler just being done with it all in 6x11 makes a lot of sense. Also, him comforting Benson the episode before and now her being his voice of reason is quite nice. And of course, her organizing his kids to see him.

Halfway through the season, I gotta say, this first half was really strong. Good stories, nice personal insights, good acting, what’s not to like.

Someone having to explain “LMAO”, makes one realize just how long this show has been on.

Benson and Stabler are like kids getting scolded by their dad (Cragen) in 6x16. I know it’s supposed to be serious, but I just thought it was funny. Also, Alex is back!! (At least for one episode)

I like how they changed it up in 6x17, with most of the episode taking part in the interrogation room.

Loved getting some backstory on Benson in 6x19. And I’m on Cragens side when it comes to the DUI charges in 6x21.

So overall, really strong first half, felt like the second half was a bit lower in quality, but that night have just been my set of mind whilst I was watching it.

Familiar Faces: Abigail Breslin, Ned Bellamy (Scrubs), Lea Thompson, Dana Delany (Body of Proof), Maggie Grace (Twilight), Lewis Black (Accepted), Jason Antoon (NCIS Hawai‘i), Amanda Seyfried, Joseph Lyle Taylor (9-1-1), Kyle MacLachlan (The Captain, HIMYM), Amanda Plummer (Wiress, The Hunger Games), Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights), Geoffrey Arend (Madam Secretary), Seth Gabel (Fringe), Hayden Panettiere (again), Martin Short, Danielle Panabaker (Sky High), Angela Lansbury, Bradley Cooper, Bebe Neuwrith (again) and Kirk Acevedo (Fringe).

Favorite Episodes: 6x04, 6x07 and 6x08

Favorite lines:

"You’re just looking for the right girl. And one day you’ll rape her and live happily ever after." - Stabler 6x09 (well, that went dark fast)

"Look how great you turned out. It’s not all about the genes, Liv." - Stabler 6x13

"Denise Eldridge is a fruitcake." - Benson 6x19

#for prosperity #law and order special victims unit #svu #season 6 #made 1/4 of the series in just a little over a month #I still don't have time for this...

a home is where the heart is.

eldridge, ca - home

eldridge is like sinking into a familiar embrace, a haven were comfort and tranquility intertwine. a rush of relief as you step through the door and instantly the weight of the world is off your shoulders. a warmth in every corner, the laughter of her husband, the whispers exchanged late into the night, the silent understanding of those who know you the best. being surrounded by close friends is like basking in the glow of a sunny day at the beach, the smiles feel like individual rays of sunshine that continue to brighten enya's day even in the darkest of days.

being in the presence of her friends, its comfort knowing that she can be herself, without judgement. creating memories that include laughter and friendship, creating a bond that grows stronger with each shared moment. she understands that her naivety in believing that everything will be just fine in the new circumstances that they have found themselves in is a bit ridiculous. but her reluctance to fully engage with the reality of what might happen is surely a coping mechanism, its allows her to maintain a sense of control or stability in an otherwise a uncertain situation.

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ

APPELEZ-MOI NHOP

“Niels Pedersen is the type of player whose talents on his instrument are such that he is almost unaware of what he does. His virtuosity on the bass surpasses anyone else that I have known. His melodic sense is impeccable, his choice of harmonic sequences is a pure delight to play with, and his time is flawless.... He is now arguably the most inventive bassist in jazz.”

- Oscar Peterson

Niels Henning Orsted-Pedersen est né le 27 mai 1946 à Osted, près de Roskilde, sur l’île de Zélande, au Danemark. Pedersen a grandi dans une famille musicale: sa mère jouait de l’orgue à l’église. Pedersen a appris a jouer du piano durant son enfance avant de passer à la contrebasse à l’âge de treize ans. L’année suivante, Pederson avait amorcé sa carrière de musicien de jazz professionnel avec son premier groupe, le Jazzkvintet 60.

DÉBUTS DE CARRIÈRE

Pedersen était si talentueux qu’à l’âge de quinze ans, il avait commencé à accompagner les plus grands musiciens de jazz dans les clubs, notamment au Jazzhus Montmartre de Copenhague, où il avait fait ses débuts la veille du Jour de l’an de 1961. Véritable surdoué, à l’âge de seulement dix-sept ans, Pedersen avait reçu une offre pour se joindre à l’orchestre de Count Basie, mais il avait dû décliner la proposition, car il n’avait pu obtenir un contrat de travail aux États-Unis en raison de son jeune âge.

Le Jazzhus Montmartre de Copenhague étant très fréquenté par les plus grands musiciens de jazz américains, Pedersen était devenu le contrebassiste de prédilection de saxophonistes comme Booker Ervin, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Rahsaan Roland Kirk et Stan Getz, ainsi que du pianiste Bill Evans, avec qui il avait fait une tournée en Europe en 1965. Durant les années 1960, Pederson avait aussi joué avec plusieurs autres musiciens de jazz américains qui étaient en tournée ou vivaient en exil au Danemark, dont Ben Webster, Brew Moore, Bud Powell (avec qui il avait enregistré), Count Basie, Roy Eldridge, Quincy Jones, Johnny Griffin, Dizzy Gillespie, Milt Jackson, Jackie McLean et Ella Fitzgerald. Par la suite, Pederson s’était également produit avec Chet Baker, Miles Davis et Dizzy Gillespie. Musicien polyvalent, Pedersen, qui serait bientôt connu sous l’acronyme de NHOP, jouait même de la basse électrique à l'Underground Railroad.

Au cours de cette période, Pedersen avait aussi formé des groupes pariculièrement innovateurs avec deux trompettistes de Copenhague, Palle Mikkelborg et Allan Botschinsky. Pedersen avait également travaillé avec la chanteuse portugaise Maria Joao. De la fin des années 1960 jusqu’au milieu des années 1970, Pederson avait retrouvé le saxophoniste Dexter Gordon, avec qui il avait développé une longue collaboration au cours des années suivantes.

C’est après avoir travaillé avec Gordon que NHOP avait été contacté par le pianiste Oscar Peterson, avec qui il était demeuré de 1973 à 1987. Lors d’une tournée en Europe, le contrebassiste de Peterson, George Mraz, un tchèque qui avait fui le Bloc de l’Est au milieu de la Guerre froide, avait soudainement réalisé qu’il ne pourrait se rendre de l’autre côté du Rideau de fer sans devoir rendre des comptes aux autorités communistes. Forcé de se trouver un contrebassiste de toute urgence, Peterson avait consulté son ancien partenaire Ray Brown, qui lui avait proposé la candidature de NHOP. Faisant référence à la rapidité d’exécution de son ancien patron, Brown avait déclaré: “He’s the only one that I know who might keep up with you.”

Dans le cadre d’un article publié dans le magazine Jazz Times, Oscar Peterson avait décrit ainsi sa collaboration avec le contrebassiste danois:

‘’After hearing this phenomenal talent on bass, I realized that somehow, someday we should meet, thereby giving me the opportunity to also play with him. This vision and thought took place in the early 1970s, when I was fortunate enough to be able to invite him to join my then trio. {...} He had the most phenomenal technique, coupled with impeccable time. {...} Almost from that evening on, we became very close friends, not just musically but most certainly personally, for I developed a great admiration for the depth of Niels’ political, geographical and personal understandings. He was a man who had an almost unbelievable wealth of historic cognizance pertaining to European history. He also had a very kindred spirit as a human being, always able to easily make good friends, should he care to do so.’’

Lorsque Peterson avait repris sa carrière à la fin des années 1990 après avoir été victime d’une grave attaque cardiaque, NHOP s’était assuré que le retour du pianiste connaisse un grand succès. Comme Peterson l’avait reconnu dans son autobiographie intitulée “A Jazz Odyssey: The Life of Oscar Peterson” publiée en 2002, “Niels Pedersen is the type of player whose talents on his instrument are such that he is almost unaware of what he does. His virtuosity on the bass surpasses anyone else that I have known. His melodic sense is impeccable, his choice of harmonic sequences is a pure delight to play with, and his time is flawless.... He is now arguably the most inventive bassist in jazz.”

Commentant les débuts de sa collaboration avec NHOP, Peterson avait ajouté:

“From the first night that my dear friend Audrey Genovese of Chicago played a Dexter Gordon record that featured Niels Pedersen on bass, I realized that this musical giant and I might someday have the pleasure and occasion of not just meeting but also playing together. This vision and thought took place in the early 1970s when I was fortunate enough to be able to invite him to join my then trio. I vividly remember Niels stepping in without any fanfare (or rehearsal) for the first concert. This turned out to be a totally impromptu performance. I selected tunes that I had obtained an OK from Niels about, and believe it or not, we managed to have a wonderful performance that evening, filled with exciting spontaneity and musical searching into each other’s jazz thinking.’

After the concert, I immediately thanked Niels and told him how much I enjoyed playing with him, even considering the unexpected spontaneity that we had to work through. The audience seemed to have really enjoyed the evening. The following day I called Norman Granz and apparently was overly excited about the immediate cohesion that took place between Niels and myself the evening before. With his usual ad lib and spontaneous reaction, Norman said, “If it was that good to play with him, why don’t you use him as your regular bassist?” Needless to say, I am happy that this took place, and Niels has remained in my group until his recent unfortunate passing.’’

Parallèlement à son travail avec le trio d’Oscar Peterson, NHOP a aussi enregistré en 1978 avec le guitariste Joe Pass l’album ‘’Chops’’. Pedersen a également travaillé avec le pianiste catalan Tete Montoliu et le batteur Albert ‘’Tootie’’ Heath, avec qui il avait enregistré quatre albums au milieu des années 1970, dont ‘’Catalonian Fire’’ en 1974. Au cours de cette période, Pedersen est aussi devenu le contrebassiste attitré des disques Pablo de Norman Granz.

En 1980, Pedersen avait également enregistré avec le saxophoniste Archie Shepp un album-hommage à Charlie Parker intitulé ‘’Lookin' At Bird.’’ De 1964 à 1982, Pedersen avait également été membre du Danish Radio Big Band, un groupe de réputation internationale avec qui il avait enregistré l’album ‘’Ambiance’’ en 1993.

DERNIÈRES ANNÉES

Outre sa collaboration avec Peterson, NHOP a aussi longtemps travaillé en duo et en trio avec le pianiste Kenny Drew, avec qui il a enregistré plus de cinquante albums. Pedersen a également collaboré avec Stéphane Grappelli et Joe Pass. Il a aussi enregistré comme leader de ses propres formations à quelques reprises. Parmi les compositions les plus connues de Pedersen, on remarquait "My Little Anna", "Jaywalkin'", "The Puzzle". Pedersen a également écrit des arrangements jazz de chansons traditionnelles danoises. Une performance en duo de Pedersen avec Rune Gustafsson dans le cadre du Vossajazz 1980 avait conduit à l’enregistrement six mois plus tard de l’album ‘’Just The Way You Are’’. L’album s’était mérité le Nordic Council Music Prize en 1991.

Particulièrement habile dans l’interprétation de chansons folkloriques danoises, Pedersen s’est souvent produit dans le cadre de trios mettant en vedette le trompettiste Palle Mikkelborg et le claviériste Kenneth Knudsen. Pedersen s’est aussi produit comme leader de ses propres groupes, habituellement avec des guitaristes comme Philip Catherine et Ulf Wakenius. En 1999, Pedersen a aussi co-dirigé un duo avec le pianiste Mulgrew Miller, avec qui il a fait une tournée en Europe, au Japon, en Australie et en Corée. Le duo s’était éventuellement transformé en trio avec l’ajout du batteur Alvin Queen. Le trio avait poursuivi ses activités jusqu’à la mort de Pedersen.

Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen est mort d’une crise cardiaque le 19 avril 2005 à sa résidence d’Ishoj, au sud de Copenhague. Il était âgé de cinquante-huit ans. Les causes exactes de sa mort n’ont pas été précisées. Pedersen laissait dans le deuil son épouse Solveig et ses trois enfants.

Reconnu comme un des instrumentistes danois les plus connus sur la planète, Pedersen a remporté de nombreux honneurs au cours de sa carrière, dont un prix Grammy pour son album en trio avec Oscar Peterson et Joe Pass en 1974. En 1981, Pedersen a également été élu contrebassiste de l’année dans le cadre d’un sondage des critiques du magazine Down Beat.

D’abord essentiellement utilisée comme instrument rythmique, la contrebasse avait vu son rôle être considérablement accru entre les années 1930 et 1960. Doté d’une technique impressionnante, Pedersen était si habile qu’il pouvait frapper les cordes de son instrument avec les quatre doigts de sa main droite, alors que la plupart des contrebassistes se servaient habituellement que d’un ou deux doigts. C’est d’ailleurs la rapidité de NHOP qui lui avait permis de prendre la relève de Ray Brown avec le trio d’Oscar Peterson. Reconnu pour ses talents d’innovateur, NHOP possédait d’ailleurs toutes les qualités qu’on exigeait d’un contrebassiste moderne: en plus d’avoir un son riche, Pedersen avait une grande imagination pour improviser ainsi que d’excellentes qualités d’écoute et un important sens du soul.

Même si Pedersen avait surtout été associé à un jazz plutôt traditionnel, il s’était également produit avec des légendes du free jazz comme Archie Shepp et Albert Ayler. Il avait également collaboré avec les pianistes Michel Petrucciani et Kenneth Knudsen. Pederson, qui a aussi entrepris une carrière d’enseignant, a été professeur au Rytmiske Musikkonservatorium (Conservatoire rythmique) de Copenhague.

Également musicien de studio prolifique, Pedersen a enregistré plus de 400 albums entre le milieu des années 1960 et le milieu des années 1980. Même s’il avait enregistré des centaines d’albums, Pedersen a très peu enregistré comme leader de ses propres formations. L’un de ses derniers albums sous son nom, intitulé “Friends Forever” (1997), lui a mérité les éloges du critique du New York Times, Don Heckman. Dans sa critique, Heckman avait commenté que l’album avait donné ‘’plenty of opportunities for Orsted Pedersen to stretch out with his solos. And he makes the most of them.” Heckman avait ajouté: “Less obvious than his soloing, but in some respects even more impressive, are his accompaniments. Over and over, his choice of notes enriches the harmonies of his songs, and the placement of his lines -- always done with meticulous precision -- brings an almost Baroque-like contrapuntal quality to the music. Subtle, understated but masterful, it is the work of a jazzman whose talent is unbounded.”

Très apprécié des autres musiciens, Pederson avait inspiré le commentaire suivant au batteur Aldo Romano: "C'était un monstre de l'harmonie. Il passait les harmonies comme un pianiste". Romano ne croyait sans doute pas si bien dire, puisque Pedersen excellait également au piano. Comme l’avait reconnu Oscar Peterson dans son autobiographie:

‘’One point that I must make here that perhaps is not known by many people, is that Niels could also play the piano (many times sitting in for me in the pre-concert sound checks). I know he had a great love for the piano, which we saw when, on a visit to the Bosendorfer piano showroom, he was lovingly impressed with the Bosendorfer grand that I eventually picked out as my own choice. Over time, I dubbed him (and announced him as) the Viking. He seemed to enjoy this title, and for some reason, it stuck to him. Niels-Henning was a player of unbelievable talent and dexterity, but selfishly speaking, personally, he became my closest friend and brother, and I shall never forget him or his talent. God bless you, Niels, and may you brighten up the musical world in Heaven as you have done on this earth.”
