“The Painter,” which is the continuation of the story told in the song "Sunflower", a story inspired by the life and works of
Vincent van Gogh.
“The Painter” looks at how a persons emotional turmoil is deeply intertwined with their surroundings.
Van Gogh's brushstrokes were said to capture his inner world and his internal dialogue of repressed emotion. This song further illuminates this journey, highlighting how art can be a cathartic outlet when facing difficult times.
It chronicles the struggle the relationship between artist and art has, that at times could be one of mutual admiration but also one of mutual neglect. Similar to a twin, an inseparable part of the artist that serves as a constant reminder of
internal processes.
The song has a beautiful and rich soundscape, instrumental input by @yamarmara on electric guitar &
keys and @gianninarduzzi on a double bass with @s_orax on Guitar, Kalimba and Vocals, woven together
with an underlying synthesizer track. Complete production by Sora X.
Drawing in elements of blues and Baroque pop, accompanied by the raw edge of classic rock, Sora’s piece
brings a unique sound to the music scene that is both courageous and captivating mirroring the
impressionistic painting style of Van Gogh.
Sora X invites fans and listeners alike on a new journey of introspection.
