about

Music inspired by the manga Cats Of The Louvré written and illustrated by Taiyō Matsumoto.

At the start of ye olde pandemic the introspection began in catbeats world, the cats + their human were deep in reading the manga Cats of the Louvre. In late night sessions little songs would appear inspired by the images of the story — a group of feral cats wandering around a closed museum at night. A cozy, haunting, deeply magical, and atmospheric feeling. Stepping into this world catbeats consumed the story and created this mini-soundtrack. The release waited a bit for the right time to be released, the start of Autumn in 2023. Sit at night with your favorite warm beverage and enter the mysterious museum and enjoy this catbeats special presentation!

I love all El Huervo and he even collabs with me sometime but I always go back to the first one. Maybe it's because the nostalgic memories and feels—either way... yay! catbeats

Flammarion
by El Huervo

supported by 35 fans who also own “Cats Of The Louvré”

Camille Flammarion, French Astronomer, originally created the "Flammarion Engraving" with the purpose of analogizing "the beautiful shapes and patterns of a kaleidoscope" with the transcendent beauty and unending complexity of the human spirit. I could only expect a producer of El Huervo's talent to wordlessly depict such a profound sentiment, perfecting the imitable emotional core throughout all of his music in a remarkably humanizing release.
