"I'm over the ocean, over the hills, over the dell, over the fireline." (Low)














You can't get much quieter than a Low song. Not sonically quiet, because Mimi Parker is whacking that snare drum laconically but fairly insistently. But quiet in a slow-down, quell the monkey mind's insistent chatter manner.

I used to go to sleep listening to lullaby-Low, I'm sure we all have. It's music that encapsulates that moment when you're just about to drop off and bed is the best place to be: cosy and quiet and agreeably empty. Like the grave.

Over The Ocean, Low

What an interesting piece of art.. it's a little eerie. It looks almost like a close up of hair follicles, but are there skulls in there too? I really like this! And I like that there is music accompanying the piece. I must go have a look at the rest of your artwork now! Great work!

Great illustration, very deep and interesting. I am a fan of your stlye. I too use music to get me where I want to be when painting.
