HIERONYMOUS BOSCH - HEAVEN & HELL musics (no really!)
around the year 1500, medieval painter hieronymus bosch drew a person with sheet music written on their butt being tortured in hell.
500 years later, someone decided to transcribe and play the song. now, you can hear it too!
There’s also an extended instrumental version by Jim Spalink that absolutely slaps. It has a hurdy gurdy in the latter half of the song and I love it. It’s played on the three instruments you can see in the painting (lute, harp, and hurdy-gurdy)
If you can’t listen to it under the SoundCloud link, it’s also on YouTube
