At first glance, this violino looks more like a sculpture than a musical instrument.
Its oversized, amoeba-like body was designed to maximize resonance while remaining fully playable. Though innovative, unconventional instrument designs like this have often struggled to gain acceptance despite their potential to improve performance, comfort, and accessibility.

“Take Five” by the Dave Brubeck Quartet was recorded 67 years ago today. It went on to become the biggest-selling jazz single ever 🥳

Brubeck became known for his innovative use of unusual time signatures and blending jazz with classical music 🎶

His album "Time Out" became the first jazz album to sell over a million copies and is considered one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time 👏🏽

My brother and I went to see "Stop Making Sense" six times in Ottawa in the summer of 1985. Can't hear this song without remembering… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP8JhOSps_0 #music

"Spotify's effective payout averages roughly $0.003 to $0.005 per stream... By contrast, Bandcamp pays artists roughly 82% of each sale. A direct $10 album sale can exceed revenue from thousands of streams. Buying music or books directly from artists, whether physical or DRM-free digital, is one of the most direct ways to support them."
Artists are likely better off when you #buy one album (and #pirate the rest) than from your #streaming #subscription!

A mystical song about a mysterious spirit that beckons a group of adventurers to follow it into the dark...

At some point, I'll make a sheet music video for some of these from this album. :)

I remade this song that I originally wrote a while back with new/updated instruments and gave it an ending instead of looping it. :)
