The influence of music on art..

The Parish Art Museum in Southampton, New York will be hosting a night where musicians improvise what they play based on what the artists are painting. Artists are influenced by musicians and vice versa, this is something that has been going on forever, but the idea of actually playing it out seems very interesting. 

"Everyone will improvise, the idea being that the painter will respond to the music, or paint what he hears, while the musicians simultaneously express what they see. From a musician's standpoint, it is very exciting because a line, a color, a shape immediately means something, and you trade it back and forth."

The band playing in this event is called the Sinopia Quartet, which consists of 2 pianists and 2 percussionists.
