Iconic performer Steve Martin performed a beautifully soothing instrumental that he called “Banjo Balm” so as to give his followers a quiet moment away from what’s happening in the world.

A day after he posted the performance on Twitter, fellow musical comedian Kristen Lundberg mashed together Martin’s performance footage of her virtually accompanying him on violin. The combination was absolutely pitch-perfect.

I accompanied your song with my violin. I hope you see this and retweet it. I tried to make it look like we're in the same woods with green screen. I hope that's creepy! I'm a huge fan!! :) pic.twitter.com/wAgAIRM38a
