Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights is a three-part altarpiece showing the Garden of Eden on the left and a vision of hell on the right. The central panel is something sort of in between – with some animals looking like Pokemons added for good measure. And there is something else too. And it is quite disturbing. Yes, it is a piece of music written down on the tortured soul’s butt.
The musical score was transcribed and recorded by the Oklahoma Christian University student Amelia Hamrick who played it on a lute, a harp, and a hurdy-gurdy.
