Color Writing: written and painted music

By Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat

For years I have wanted to write like William Turner paints, like Chopin, John Coltrane and Miles Davis compose and make music. There is something about bringing the completeness of the feeling, the sky, the space, the surround. It is an above and beyond overboarding im-precision or perhaps it is hitting the notes and tones just so, a kind of free style playing of compositions not necessarily seen or spoken but felt, intuited, - defintely spatial.

Color Writing is this attempt are these essays then, accompanied by paintings.
