What an odd video to illustrate a binaural recording.

What an odd comment. Why is this odd?

"No dummy head, just mine" seems to indicate you were recording out of your ears. Most people move their head around for that period of time, yet the video is nearly motionless. Was your head still the whole time?
Organ music in a cathedral or church reverberates among all the surfaces. The sound as a result is sort of omnidirectional. You're surrounded by the sound. It pervades the space. There's really nothing directional about the recording. How is it any different from what one would get with a stereo mic?
If you were moving your head around, we should be able to hear that you were doing so. I didn't try to see if I could, though, because the picture was nearly rock steady.
