Songs are time machines.
They can help take you back to a fuzzy childhood memory, push you forward to help you see the future, or they can help center you in the very moment that you're in.
They're warm blankets in times of sadness or a mentor in times with contemplation.
For artist, Melissa Valliere.
Songs were her way into her paintings by listening to the music i think i was tapping more into the emotion and i was trying just to not think about things just listen to the music and feel the emotion you've been on my mind Lucky for Melissa, her husband, Roland Valliere, is not only the creative director of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, but an audiophile to the nth degree.
Every day, he makes Melissa a soundtrack to inspire her work.
And I just have this really eclectic, you know, passion, really interesting curiosity about music.
So I just explore it and I just sort of filter it and then she gets the result of the filtering.
He always stretches my imagination, which seems like that would be impossible to do, but he does.
My spelling's getting better, too.
But it's just an obsession, really.
You know, there's something like 116,000 tracks and about 380 days of continuous music.
Well, that obsession paid off with over 66 different paintings inspired by 45 different artists.
Melissa's paintings can take us all sorts of different places.
We could hang out with Jenis Joplin.
Or Bach.
Or stay a while and visit with Pink Floyd.
With such a diverse group of songs and styles, Melissa's exhibition reinforces the unifying factor of music.
If there's a universal language, it is music.
There are many vacations.
You get to travel to different places in the course of one song.
These mini vacations inspired an energy that leaps off the canvas, invoking the spirit of the musicians Melissa connected with.
What does music inspire you to do?
