From Music, Art and Film to Visual Worlds — Introducing My Digital Art Collections

For many years, I have worked across different creative fields — writing books, composing music, teaching, developing lectures, and exploring the relationship between art and storytelling.

Along the way, I created a large number of images for my music projects, books, lectures, and creative work.

 

I have now curated these works into four collections.

 

Female Vocal Jazz Collection

A visual exploration of midnight, female vocal jazz, love, memory, longing, separation and the quiet arrival of dawn.

 

Melodies on Canvas Collection

This collection begins with the emotional experience of encountering masterpieces and transforms that experience into music.

 

Music After The Film Collection

These works explore the emotions, memories, spaces and moments that stay with us after the screen goes dark.

 

Listening To Masterpieces: Amedeo Modigliani Collection

Created during the development of an art lecture exploring Modigliani, his work, his era, his life and his relationship with Jeanne Hébuterne.

 

They are now available as Digital Artworks and Art Prints.

 

Look. Listen. Feel.

“Where the Seasons Fade” — Music After the Film #19

Some stories remain with us long after the screen becomes dark.

Some memories become quieter with time, but they never completely disappear.

This feeling is at the heart of Music After the Film, my J Music project in which I select 100 famous films about beautiful and bittersweet love stories and create completely original music inspired by the emotions those films evoke.

For the nineteenth piece in the series, I chose Makoto Shinkai's “5 Centimeters per Second.”

Rather than recreating the film's existing music, I wanted to create something independent — a new musical work that could exist on its own while expressing the emotional atmosphere I associate with the story.

The result is:

“Where the Seasons Fade”

I imagined winter railway platforms, falling snow, distant lights, long railway lines disappearing toward the horizon, and the quiet transition from winter into spring.

Listening to the Silence of a Renaissance Painting — Pietro Perugino and “Sacred Stillness”

When we look at a painting, we often begin with its colors, figures, composition and historical meaning.

But some paintings create an emotion that goes beyond visual beauty.

They can make us feel silence.
Balance.
Grace.
Peace.
Even a sense that time itself has momentarily stopped.

Pietro Perugino’s “The Madonna between St John the Baptist and St Sebastian” is a remarkable example of this kind of visual serenity.

Inspired by the atmosphere of this Renaissance masterpiece, J Music created “Sacred Stillness,” an instrumental composition that attempts to translate the painting’s visual harmony into sound.

The music combines delicate strings, gentle harp, Renaissance-inspired melodic colors and refined contemporary neoclassical textures.

It is part of “Melodies on Canvas – A Journey Through Art & Sound,” a continuing artistic project exploring the relationship between famous works of art and original music.

“When the Lights Go Low” 🌙 — A Female Vocal Jazz Ballad About Finding Yourself

There is a particular kind of silence that belongs to the late hours of the night.

The lights become softer. 

The city becomes quieter. 

A piano seems to sound more intimate, and memories that were hidden during the day begin to return.

This is the atmosphere behind “When the Lights Go Low,” an original female vocal jazz ballad about love, heartbreak, loneliness, self-discovery, and quiet strength.

Listen to “When the Lights Go Low”

If you enjoy female vocal jazz, emotional jazz ballads, smoky jazz, vintage jazz, late-night jazz, soulful vocals, and intimate jazz music, I hope this song creates a small private space for you.

Dim the lights.

Put on your headphones.

Let the piano breathe.

And when the lights go low,

perhaps you will hear your own voice a little more clearly.

“When the Rain Remembers Us” — A Melody of Love That Remains After the Film

Some films end when the credits appear on the screen.

Others continue to live quietly inside our memories.

J Music's Music After the Film project explores that second kind of experience — the emotions that remain after a film has ended, and the possibility of transforming those emotions into completely new music.

The latest composition is titled:

“When the Rain Remembers Us”

Inspired by the emotional themes of the Japanese romantic fantasy film “Be with You,” the composition explores love, memory, reunion, temporary happiness and farewell through an entirely original instrumental work.

A film tells us a story.

Music allows us to remember how that story made us feel.

What If Van Gogh’s “Cafe Terrace at Night” Could Be Heard? — A Musical Journey Inspired by the Painting

When we look at a great painting, we usually experience it through color, composition, light, texture, and brushwork.

But some paintings seem to suggest something beyond what we can see.

Vincent van Gogh’s “Cafe Terrace at Night” is one of them.

A warm café glowing beneath a deep blue night sky. Golden lights illuminating the street. Small figures moving quietly through the evening. Stars appearing above the rooftops.

What if this painting could be heard?

Inspired by the atmosphere of Van Gogh’s “Cafe Terrace at Night,” J Music has created an original instrumental piece, “Cafe Terrace at Night – Nocturne in Golden Light,” reflecting the warmth, romance, quiet solitude, and nocturnal mystery of the artwork.

Melodies on Canvas – A Journey Through Art & Sound #20

A painting can be seen.

But sometimes, a painting can also be heard.

Listen to the complete composition and imagine yourself standing beneath Van Gogh’s star-filled sky, surrounded by the warm glow of a café in the quiet streets of Arles.
