about

I encourage artists of any medium to try making your own "Paintchip Prompts". You can take some paintchips from any hardware store you wish and use the names as a basis to create art. Be it music, visual art, poetry, prose, anything. You can also look online at any paint company to see their list of colours.

During my undergrad in one of my education courses focusing on "Creative Activities", we our professor introduced an icebreaker using paintchips coming from Home Depot, which included the most fascinating names for colours. A few years later I figured it would be really fun to use the names of certain paintchips as titles for musical pieces and challenged myself to create some based on the names of 5 paintchips.

Some of these pieces are fully improvised and drone based. Others started with a precomposed motive or riff and the riff was improvised around. Some pieces have less to do with the colour and more of the title itself. You can view the colour of these paintchips by clicking the link in the description of the individual tracks.
