Sympawnies by Noam Oxman

I've never seen anything like this before, really. Here's Purrlude in D for harp (Miss Kitty), a single instrument. But also a String Quarcat no.4 (Cotton) or a Quincat no.2 in G (Snickers) Or even the large ensemble Sympawny no.4 (Chubby Cat). The entire account of Sympawnies by Noam Oxman is full of musical whimsy that combines art and composition and animals.

He's not cheap, but you can commission him.

if someone commissions him to do their cat Precious I think the universe as we know it will succumb to a Precious Singularity Event

Ok, my mind is slightly blown, buuuut, the wavy tie bars are a bit of a cheat.

YouTube served this up to me a few weeks ago and I fell in love.
