Twelve Strings, Three Guitars is a songwriting project. The project’s aim is to write three songs inspired by art from artists who broke the mould with their work.
The three paintings that were chosen as stimuli for this project are “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh (1889), “Guernica” (1937) by Pablo Picasso and “Untitled (Silver Over Black, White, Yellow & Red)” by Jackson Pollock (1948). Each painting represents a different artistic style – sparking different reactions and evoking different emotions in those who view them.
The songs created in response to the three paintings were written and performed by Andy Kerr and recorded and produced by Laura Leitch at UWS Studios, Ayr.
