Norman Perryman - A Life Painting Music

12/12/2016

Picture
If you've been to Birmingham Symphony Hall you have probably seen this painting - I've just come across the latest entry in the artist Norman Perryman's blog: "A few weeks ago, with over two thousand others, I was shuffling towards the exit of Birmingham's Symphony Hall, slightly dazed, the sounds of Mahler 1 still going through my whole being. Mirga Gražinyté-Tyla had just conducted the CBSO in another fabulous concert. They brought the house down!  We pass by my painting The Mahler Experience - Symphony Hall. "Look", a woman in front of me says to her group, "I think that may be Mahler 2, with Simon Rattle". "That's right", I mutter. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I painted it". The crowd comes to a standstill. "You painted it! Hey, he painted it!" Handshakes all round. I find this reaction rather amusing, but it happens every time I'm in Birmingham. A group of teenagers is hanging around. I try not to feel prejudiced about their demeanour. One of them eventually approaches me and says: "Sir, I just have to tell you: that painting changed my life. I now love classical music"."

Great stuff!




Norman Perryman is an "English artist born in Birmingham, living in Amsterdam. Painted many great musicians. Forty years ago started painting kinetic visuals live in concert, with major orchestras. 1993 BBC Television documentary with Sir Simon Rattle. “A musician who makes music with his paintbrush” (Yehudi Menuhin)."

I am not that talented, at least music wise, but this is the profession the I choose. I am not saying that I can succeed without talent, however, at the same time, talent is not the only thing that you need. I might not be that talented, but I always work harder than anyone else. As long as I get my shot or even just an opportunity, then I will surely capitalize on it and make it to the big stage.

I hope that we can continue to improve this craft and this community that we have built. There is nothing that I want more than to see this community grow to the best possible version of itself, that is my dream.

During times like these, I would probably call my friend. I know that family should come first, but I just feel a lot more comfortable with my friend. The bond that my friend and I have, it is far more greater than a family's bond. I know that it will take a while before I can open up to my family, and that is why I love this so much. I hope to do more from now on, man.

Jukebox Music Player. Been using for a couple weeks. Does exactly what I need. Has themes and gets lyrics from the web. I think it’s fairly new but it has a new update with new stuff in it every other day it seems.

A noise assessor?? How infuriating! As though the fact that you are disturbed by the noise isn't enough for them to send one of their bored patrollers out to hush up the offenders! Poor Terry! I would have gone through the roof…
