About Me

www.TheMusicPainter.com

The Art world's very own rock star, Kilford - The Music Painter.

Kilford, paints the energy of live music alongside musicians during their live performances. “When I feel the music I see colours, it’s very simple. The paintings I create alongside the musicians represent the passion, the music and the atmosphere of the gig, the inner soul of the songs and the vibe of the audience”.

Live Music Painting....

Created during their performance, the live painting process starts at the exact moment of the first chord and ends on the last. The painting is a one off representation of that gig, a time that can never be captured again.

Live music painted: Black Eyed Peas, Brian Eno, Bruce Dickinson, Damon Albarn, Deep Purple, Feeder, Gary Moore, Kaiser Chiefs, Linda Lewis, Paul Weller, Robert Plant, Sam Brown, Status Quo, The Charlatans, The Feeling…....

Singles Painting....

Individual commissioned paintings of single musical tracks. Paintings are created in the studio to bespoke sizes, whilst continually listening to the chosen track.

Singles painted: Rock n Roll Star (Oasis), The Sweet Fantastic (Ian Brown), Song 2 (Blur), Fuck Forever (Baby Shambles), I feel You (Schiller), Clubfoot ( Kasabian )…....

Music Sketches.

14 important songs, 14 intimate sketches, released 14th September 2008.. Sketched songs include One, Back to Black, Glamorous, Crazy In Love, Chasing Cars, Talk Tonight, Lost, Dare, Sexyback, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Cant Get You Out Of My Head, Stop Me, That's Not My Name and Brand New Start...
