Programme Note"

"A painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience"  -  Mark Rothko

-  Can the experience of the Rothko Room at the Tate Modern be 
   conveyed in music?
-  What does the two fields of colour mean in music?  
-  Where does our perception of the paintings change in relation to 
   distance?
-  Is there a structural journey within the paintings?
-  Why do these paintings ingulf ones sensory experience?
-  How can the detailed brush strokes be translated into music?
