The Colors of My Mind album is the fruit of a collaborative improvisation by painter Madelene Egerfält and composer and pianist Maria Grönlund, both Swedish artists.
Starting out with a piano and a blank canvas, with nothing more than a concept, with the piano providing an emotional impulse, and that they would go into this with open minds and see where that would lead them, they improvised together, Madelene painting to the sounds and melodies Maria played on the piano, and Maria playing to the visual splendor of Madelene's painting.
The result was a joint state of flow, a twenty minute long recording, and a marvelous, exuberant painting, which was completed during one more replay of the audio file.
The ten tracks on this record were all made from this original recording, cut up in pieces and carefully edited to keep as much of the phrasing and expression from this inspired session as possible.
Poetic color names were then chosen for each piece, and close-up photographs of different small parts of the painting were used as artworks for the digital releases of the different tracks, as well as for cover art for this album.
