One-hundred Tone Poems completed
One-hundred Tone Poems completed over the course of several months. The original intent of this project was to create only twenty, to include with the first twenty copies sold of the Chromesthesia Chronicles CD - a creative collaboration between ambient guitarist Tristan Welch (@tristanwelchmusic) and I, completed in 2019. Due to COVID-19, the CD production plant we were going to use closed down temporarily, delaying the release of the album. I decided to use the borrowed time to make more, with the goal in mind to paint 100, each one to be included with each CD, that would be released in a limited run of only 100. I actually made 102, since a couple were given away as gifts to a couple of friends. Anyhow, the only way to get one of these mini-paintings is by purchasing the Chromesthesia Chronicles CD from Tristan Welch, which also includes a booklet of photos of the artwork that Tristan responded to with his music, or that I painted in response to Tristan’s music. The music itself is both intimate and expansive, true audio art that transcends words. My hope is that the artwork captures at least some of the spirit of Tristan’s music, in this audio and visual collaborative effort.
