These clothing samples arrived in the mail! We are excited to be wearing our self-designed products! Nikolai Medtner is one of Scott's favorite composers (and they share the same birthday!), and Clare loves the concept of John Cage's 4'33"! If you're interested in these and more music-related things, please visit our shop at www.themeeksduo.com/merchandi.... And let us know what other composers you'd like to see represented! #medtner #johncage #pianoduo

We are excited to share our latest "mash-up" arrangement tomorrow: Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata meets Fly Me to the Moon!
You can read Scott's arranging process here: www.themeeksduo.com/blog/beethovens-moonlight-sona…
And Clare's perspective: www.themeeksduo.com/blog/filming-day-for-beethoven….
Also, by coincidence, this arrangement makes a good companion to our earlier Cruel Angel's Thesis Meets a Pathetic Beethoven's Sonata, since both original songs were as the opening and ending credits in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WrR_....
