I came across this picture of Althorp House, which belongs to the aristocratic Spencer family of England. I recently liked it on Twitter, where it was posted by the current Earl, but somehow it keeps lingering in my mind.

This is the piece of music that plays in my head whenever the image comes to mind.

Opus 23 - Dustin O’Halloran

Picturesque - Monstrous Things

Over the last couple of weeks, I've listened to both rock (and fairly hard rock at that), and soft melodical music, piano, soundtrack scores, things of the like. There has been no in between for some reason -- perhaps that's just where my mind/head is at. One day is good and I'm in the mood for fun angry rock, and then there is one day where perhaps it is worse and I need a little piano music to calm me down and keep me focused on the necessary task at hand.

So, the above, Picturesque is from the delightful Equal Vision records and their Monstrous Things debut ep. Fits the rock bill quite well and I was happy to find them this past week. The below, was a find sent to my inbox one morning from a close friend and just perfectly met the needs of the softer side of me. Allow me to introduce you to Dustin O'Halloran and his Opus 23.
