Pictures at an (SG) Exhibition: special project and essay The Sound of Colour

Pictures at an (SG) Exhibition is a 2019 transdisciplinary project conceived and led by Robert Casteels, funded by the Creation Grant of the National Arts Council and executed in collaboration with the National Gallery, Singapore. Ten (at the time) young upcoming Singaporean composers were commissioned to compose a piece of chamber music inspired by Singaporean paintings of their choice that belong to the collection of the National Gallery. The compositions were premiered next to the paintings, recorded. The score was published. 

In his essay entitled The Sound of Colour, Casteels analyses the relationship between painting and music in the context of these ten compositions.
