These paintings have lovely, evocative washes of colour, which inspired me to compose in a flowing piano style. I get a feeling of calm when watching this sequence - I hope you do too.

This is the type of unusual and exciting project that stimulates me as a musician. I was given the DVD with no sound beforehand and asked to prepare piano pieces for each artist. On the day of the recording, I was in the studio Steinway in front of me and TV monitor screen to my right and the record button pressed ! Here you can experience the results.

The works were exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery and filmed for Astra, director Tony Salmon
