Starry Night,

by Vincent Van Gogh.

Van Gogh painted The Starry Night during his 12-month stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, several months after suffering a breakdown in which he severed a part of his own ear with a razor. The painting depicts the view of the night sky from his bedroom window, looking over upon the village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

I took inspiration from Van Gogh’s letters, historical accounts of life in similar institutions at the time and wildlife sounds from the South of France to create this piece.

Nighthawks,

by Edward Hopper.

‘Nighthawks’ depicts a late night 1940’s Manhattan diner. In keeping with the title of his painting, Hopper said Nighthawks has more to do with the possibility of predators in the night than with loneliness.

My piece takes the listener on a walk through a calm Greenwich Village and into the bustling atmosphere of Phillie’s Diner.
