Sound Painting by Helen Davey

Musician Helen Davey, Switzerland. Helen originates from Australia, but makes her home now outside of Zurich. Her newest song, Waterpath to the Ocean, celebrates to mood of the river in a pastel work that I have done.

Helen Davey writes abstract and lyrical sound paintings. They are pieces responsive to another form of art, such as a painting. In this instance, Helen has created the water as sound, in it's progress from the river's source, to the ocean. Her inspiration is my pastel work, The Rain, the Light, and The River.

Here are 2 links for Helen's tracks.

I intentionally went small with this video because I like live performances, but not necessarily slide shows. Great performance, and meaningful words. In related news, artist Helen Davey has written a song that responds to one of my artworks. That post next time.

Still need a live performance? This is a beautiful one. Martin Guitar anniversary performance:

I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
