The following music NFT is my initial response to Giovanni Battista Pittoni's ‘Allegory of Summer and Winter,’ recorded on Feb 21, 2023 via voice memo at a private residence in New York, NY. The cover art is a sineprint (a graphed room frequency response) of my room.

There’s a lot going in this recording! That flickering sound in the background are my candles burning. I felt that it would be appropriate to leave it in. There are also people cooking in the kitchen, and the chopping of onions can be heard; the house isn’t very soundproof. I think it’s kind of fun to leave these artifacts in for the informal sketches, as it is authentic and comparatively will only increase the quality of the final recording.

The musical consideration for this was that the melody at 00:12 represents Summer pointing to Winter, and the response 00:37 represents his response.
