The True Lies of Heathyre Perara

Luke and I were looking at Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights and discovered, much to our amusement, music written upon the posterior of one of the many tortured denizens of the rightmost panel of the painting which is intended to represent Hell. I decided to transcribe it into modern notation, assuming the second line of the staff is C, as is common for chants of this era.

so yes this is LITERALLY the 600-years-old butt song from hell

EDIT: I still can’t believe this took off like it did this is crazy??? Just wanted to let people know that there are indeed errors in the transcription and this is indeed not a very good recording (I threw this together in like 30 minutes at 1 in the morning,) but I’m working with the music department at my college to get the transcription more accurate!

Shoot for the moon

Now available as a print on the store! Yes, stars are further away from Earth than the moon! Don’t let poetic license distract you from what is an actually very useful way of thinking. I’m not where I want to be yet, not by a long shot; but I’ve reached this far trying to get there. (Originally published on March 24, 2017)
