Dark medieval ambient music track and album art created in collaboration with
Google Gemini.
Originally inspired by the Halley's Comet appearance of 1066 AD and its depiction on the
Bayeux Tapestry.
From what I understand, Halley's Comet was commonly interpreted as a bad omen for King Harold II as he died at the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066 AD. Defeated and succeeded by William the Conqueror who would later reshape England's history, although this track is meant to focus in on 1066 specifically as the comet was live-streaming so to speak. At a time when there was no science to explain comets in the first place, one can only imagine what wild speculations & superstitions the medieval folk conjured up as they witnessed Halley's Comet blazing across the night sky...
