Throwing away the modern paradigm of how western music is understood while appreciating early modern music is a must; it likely was a creative wild west where the composers were exploring harmony and how music fit into the construct of time and expression under the constraints of their worldview

Yeahh I love Farya's videos too! It's honestly not far fetched to think that stylistic choices of European medieval music came from the ME, imagine sacred music without any influence from Constantinople or the holy land😅(even though there wasn't a clear-cut line between sacred and secular back then)

my digital desktop is also equally horrifying in terms of sheer number of documents but I tend to group them into "piles" of certain themes which gives a certain structure of access.
meanwhile my physical desk is very, very, organised. I wonder why

i tend to draw multiple sketches and ideas on a single psd, often with multiple finished pieces within, also trying out multiple "collages" of previous bits and pieces that I like from sketches. result = "Layer 732" "3.02 GB psd" computer shut down while attempting to open the document

scholars generally conclude that Toute Belle (Peronne(lle)) wasn't a real person, so this guy literally made a whole book based on the chatlogs with his waifu, in addition to introducing her to his colleagues as muse to host (informal) poetry competitions. he was dedicated alright

anyways this just an excuse to draw more machaut so I can change my profile pic

love my certifiably insane, compulsive rhyming uncle nephew duo
deschamps strikes me as extremely bullyable, considering his colleagues bound him onto a mule while on a crusade because he just wouldn't shut up (continues shoving dijon mustard down his throat)

it's historically accurate ok
(also i can't believe this piece gestated for 10 months in this file. ridiculously long time)

time to relegate this to the bottom of the psd so it marinates for a couple of weeks (hopefully not months this time)
