Accidents do make for great art! I loved the visual of what you did with the painting, especially the French tricolor. The track is brilliant! It feels like liberty to me!

So interesting - the beat captured the militaristic tone of which you spoke, and Marianne’s raw scream. Yet the painting for me always evoked something more passions and inspirational, ordered yet emotional, more than militaristic.

Lets not forget the accidents with teflon-coated cookware and potato chips. In the 1940s, Marc Grégoire, a French engineer, accidentally discovered the instability of Teflon when he coated a fishing rod with the substance and his wife suggested a needle covers are not cookware, which led to the development of Teflon-coated cookware.

Potato chips were accidentally invented by a chef named George Crum in 1853. When a customer returned his potato chips too many times because they were too hard the, Crum decided to slice the potatoes very thin and fry them until crispy and season them with salt. The result was the first potato chip.

It’s what Brian Eno called “happy accidents” in the studio! And the track reminds me of his 70s material. Well done!

"Sometimes it’s easy to forget things you’ve known about forever. But then there is the experience of rediscovery. It really struck me seeing this painting again, through the lens of my life today."

This happens to me ALL the time. But it's great. Never stop learning.

And that beat is perfect. Been playing it on a loop...
