“Even though musicians deal in the unseen and therefore don’t explicitly work with color, I’ve always been a very visual person- I’m attracted to bright, fun colors and vibrant patterns in pretty much everything I do. From flannel shirts and striped sweaters to color-coding my binders and google calendars, color definitely influences every aspect of my daily life. I’m definitely a purple-person - it’s always been my favorite color - but I’m also drawn to rainbows; like a well-rounded individual, I love a color palette that is able to represent the whole spectrum of hues, as I hope my music is able to represent a full spectrum of tones as well.” -
“when i first met rose, it was at in memphis. we had small encounters here and there on campus, but it wasn’t until we both decided to quarantine on campus that i began to hang out with her more. some of the first things i remember about rose was her attention to color. the vibrant hues of her studio, this purple chair she was (and still is) absolutely in love with. She would talk about color when she talked about her favorite painting (starry night), and when i decided to show rose my paintings, the first thing she would mention would be my use of color. don’t get me wrong, collaboration isn’t always easy, especially between me and rose// a lot of times we’re sacrificing something to make the other person happier, but i think color is usually one of those things we always agree on. i think this project was the perfect blend of our tastes—rainbows, neons, green screens, and most importantly, the colorful setting of rose’s home.” - .r.s
