The worst part of being an avid, obsessive ambient and drone aficionado is that I can't ever tell if that strange, phantasmal sorta liquid noise ever-emanating at my peripheral is music or a structural failure in my house.

social media post by Doyen Rainey: Enterprise D is a floating UNIVERSITY...tons of labs and researchers, dozens of departments, with a mix of tenured and transient researchers, and a small corps of pseudomilitary officers who drive the thing around and occasionally ask the researchers for some applied science. What a flex for the Federation! People: "Emergency! Any race please respond with help." Starfleet: "We're sending a floating university to engineer you a solution. All should be well in an hour, minus commercial breaks."

Most of my paintings are related to space, but I’m a huge bird nerd. I occasionally paint birds! Feels like I might need to do a series of fancy pigeons strutting against a bright background 🤔

For #WorldMusicDay:
The Cat Symphony, Moritz von Schwind, 1868, H 31.6cm W 25cm, pencil/brown pen/brown brush on paper. "A humorous depiction of a melody for violins in which, instead of notes, numerous cats move across the paper." 🐈

The Cat Symphony, one of his best-known hand drawings, is a humorous depiction of a melody for violins in which, instead of notes, numerous cats move across the paper. The composition can be interpreted as a caricaturing dig at Richard Wagner's music, which the artist did not appreciate very much. Schwind gave the sheet to one of his friends, the violinist Joseph Joachim. The reason for the gift was Joachim's appointment as director of the Berlin Academy of Music. Schwind sent a letter and a photo of the drawing to Eduard Mörike on January 19, 1869.
