Did you know that the two words Mosaic and Music have a similar ancient Greek root "μουσ" (mous) ?
Both words are relatives to the Muses, goddesses of the arts. Themselves a favourite theme of classical Roman mosaicists !

"Music" comes from the ancient Greek “μουσικός” (Mousikos)
"Mosaic" was formed from the ancient Greek "μουσεῖον" (Mouseîon)
This video is an accelerated take of my building the Mugen mosaic, a portrait of my late Border Collie Mugen who died 3 years ago, realized in Opus Pixellatum. The music is from Beethoven, and it is interpreted by my 2 nieces Charlotte and Luana. So here, you have the best of the 2 worlds of music and mosaic, a family business !
