I think I'm entering another countertenor phase. I apologize for nothing.

Countertenor Core! On Spotify!

First - there was HARDCORE.

Then, there was Cottagecore.

And then - PATOOIE - Balletcore.

Let's add another word that deserves the "-core" suffix. How 'bout -

COUNTERTENOR CORE?

I crafted this playlist for the aficionados of male alto voices - falsetto and modal. It's a potpourri of various vocalists - from Alfred Deller to Alex Chance! I included a variety of excerpts from most eras of classical music.

But the tracks aren't limited to Renaissance and Baroque music. Paul Esswood singing a Robert Schumann romantic lied? It's in here. How about Jochen Kowalski crooning "Bei Mir Bistu Shein" with a big band? I included it.

But be forewarned. If you have kids under 18 and aren't listening to the playlist through earbuds, I STRONGLY advise you to skip over "Gravity" from Donna McKevitt's Translucence. Seriously - even if Michael Chance happens to be one of your favorite countertenors. (Read the lyrics in the CD booklet via the Internet Archive, and you'll see why.)

Anyways - if you have a Spotify account, give it a listen!

Back again with more ideas for Erik's design. I wasn't a fan of the more musical makeup lookibg design so I tried a slightly different approach! Also I've seen people draw him with black whites in his eyes which I thought is a really cool look so I tried that out too. Also I fell in love with his picnic outfit from the 1990 miniseries.

If you have any ideas or thoughts what I should try to draw next let me know!

Love this semi-staged version of John Blow’s masque-tragedy!
