Honestly. I don't know how you do it. What you create harmonically always suits the art, but always stands on its own — a true feat. This one is dusty and wonderful.
Aww, thanks so much. I had some doubts about this one in the beginning...did it really fit? But, hey, what can I do, this is what came out! The more I hear it the more it makes sense.
"Loved how old and crappy it sounded..." I did too! And see myself so painfully recognizably (as I’m sure many of us here assembled must) in Whistler’s impulsive behavior. Also, if you're ever in Spokane, check out the Peacock Lounge in the historic Davenport Hotel.

Love the peacocks! And their cry in the nighttime can be disconcerting at the least! The “two dogs” thing is something of a metaphor for the 70s though - at least as I remember them. Still chuckling...
Very cool again. I have seen this in person at the Smithsonian Freer Gallery (don't call it sackler!) Really like the sample loops and beats. The cello is midi, right? I also like the video!
I was gonna say- that'd be too much! I have a violin and got into it for a bit as an adult learner, but was never any good and have completely lapsed. Though, might try and "fiddle" around with it a bit in the future. har har.
Mission-creep, have not heard that before, mainly because all we were faced with was feature-creep during my time at "that" company. Feature-creep, mission-creep... same thing, I guess! :) I like the muffled, aged sound.
Love the Whistler tie in to your track! Love that he just decided to decorate someone else’s dining room. And your track sounds like two peacocks (Whistler and Leyland) wrestling angularly up and down a wall!
The beat was not at all what I expected. It made me think of the painting as a high class, different kind of cock fight in an overwrought drawing room rather than a smoky, dirty basement!
I loved the beat you chose. This feels like something that should be playing in a movie scene of a dinner party in the Peacock Room. Your reduction is stunning. Those colors are perfect.

The fact that this is what came out is exactly why it fits!

The Peacock Lounge looks amazing!

I remember the paneling walls...
Ooooh - that takes me back!!

Thanks! It is pretty great in person. My wife and I love visiting all the DC museums. Yes, the cello is virtual, don't play strings sadly!

Oh I see what you did there.

Oh, thanks so much for the close reading! It’s peacock week!
Child of a former NBC exec is maybe why! Lots of peacocks!

Hahah, it wasn’t what I expected either!!

I think people would be throwing mashed potatoes at each other at that dinner.
That tracks! 🤣
Groovy! I love the Art.
It is groovy!!
The beat's got a "Yea, I'm gonna do what I want" kind of attitude. Very fitting! Love it.
Peacocks generally do what they want...
It sounds like Mr. Whistler had a similar idea also.
Feature creep! I like that!
