Imagine if you could walk into Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, what would you hear? What if the artworks we look at in museums had their own soundtracks? What would they sound like?
Malcolm Key’s The Soundpainter is a show that thoughtfully dives into that question. Each episode creates sonic domains based on the artworks of the world. Each artwork is accompanied by a series of songs curated to create a listening experience that envelops the listener, as if they were inside of the artwork itself.
Each week I will take the listener inside a collection of curated artworks and bridge the gap between fine art and music, highlighting the best of human creation in both mediums and creating an artwork with sound.
Follow the host, Malcolm Key, @omgitsmalconius to see the artworks for yourself as well as sneak peeks into future episodes.
