There are echoes between music and art, grand intersections where painters ply their canvases and composers corral their notes. Both use contrast, the eternal dance between light and shadow, striving to illuminate something new and beautiful and startling and true Chiaroscuro is the painter’s solution for shaping Objects from the darkness, wielding one to conjure the other It’s this idea that inspired this collection, the desire to supply music for all the human emotions, the shadows and the sun Here are songs of the dark treasures of the abyss, soaring up to the sheer cliffs of bliss Because perhaps, if musically, we face the darkness, then also might we hear the light.
