In over 3 decades of remixing, this recent one was by far most impactful.

It was the second I did of the amazing and gracious @shannoncurtis go follow and listen to all her stuff now!

The original is such an anthem and helps me through grimmer than even my baseline grim times.

The process was catalysing in a bloody minded return to the studio despite health and life barriers. Beauty in the darkness!

Sarcophagus of the Spouses restored in public view – The History Blog
thehistoryblog.com/archives/73

"The sarcophagus is a monumental cinerary urn composed of a lower part in the shape of a kline, or bed, and a top part depicting a married couple reclining at a banquet. The spouses are the lid of the urn and the bed is where the ashes were kept. Their placid archaic smiles, spooning bodies and tender embrace testify to the loving bond between them ..."

"Girl from Eydtkuhnen II," Helene Schjerfbeck, 1927.

Finnish painter Schjerfbeck (1862-1946) has quite an artistic evolution. Early in her career, she worked mostly in Impressionist-style plein air styles or Naturalism, as well as a number of Realist historical paintings, many of which were not well-received because, of course, she was a woman and historic paintings were seen as male territory.

Later in her career she also violated norms by experimenting with modernism and Expressionism, as we see here. The model is unknown, but she is depicted with a certain panache. Her face is broken into component parts, but she's still recognizably human and I can't help but feel I'd recognize her if I saw her. She's elongated, with a pointed face and long neck, and the dress is a mere gridwork, but she's still warmly human. Her eager, interested expression draws me in.

Schjerfbeck continued to paint in her final years, including a series of Expressionistic self-portraits that are almost ghoulish.

Her birthday, July 10, is now Finland's national day for the painted arts.

Musical Company, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1626
The subject of this painting is a mystery: is it an exhortation to praise God through singing and string music, or a scene of seduction with the old woman as a procuress? In any case, in this early work Rembrandt used elements from his own surroundings: his mother modelled for the old woman, and Rembrandt’s own features can be recognized in the young man.
