It's really too hot to read and digest what you're saying and properly respond, so for now I'll post a definition of synchronicity, courtesy of wikipedia, for clarification.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity

Quote:
Synchronicity is a word coined by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to describe the "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung spoke of synchronicity as an "acausal connecting principle" (i.e., a pattern of connection that cannot be explained by direct causality).
An example on the same page:

Quote:
A well-known example of synchronicity is the true story of the French writer Émile Deschamps who in 1805 was treated to some plum pudding by the stranger Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, he encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant, and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be M. de Fontgibu. Many years later in 1832 Émile Deschamps was at a diner, and was once again offered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only M. de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete - and in the same instant the now senile M. de Fontgibu entered the room.
Synchronicity is a pretty 'metaphysical' phenemenom, I just don't see this experiment as having any real involvement with Synchronicity. It's almost as if she thinks the music synching up with the movie is the "Synchronicity". I can kind of see some possibilities of synchronicity arising out of this, but it just seems unlikely and difficult to record ;/
