Paint Chips is the brainchild of a UK composer who heightens our sensory images by creating moods with color. Featured often in Radio and TV commercials, like Disney's Precious Collections and Little Brown Books' "School of Fear" trailer, Paint Chips presents a rainbow of colorful film scores, TV soundscapes, branding, cartoons, and rom-com music. From the magical Black Fairy Dust, to the seductive Red Stallion Tango or scary Deep Midnight Dread, Paint Chips creates enchanting and cinematic music in an impressive 20 genres.
Music and color are closely connected. Some people actually see music in color or taste music as sweet or bitter - a condition called Synesthesia. Paint Chips is capitalizing on this sensory concept, believing that if you concentrate on a particular hue or color, you can often imagine, or actually hear, the music that might accompany it.
Check out some of the fun tracks here, like The Little Green Train That Could, which provides a fast-moving journey punctuated by bursts of steam that kids will love! Have fun "visualizing" the music through the color descriptions before you click on the Play button. Black Fairy Dust, Rainy Day Gray, Mellow Yellow, and Pumpkin Orange are all emblematic of the fun and sensorial highs that await you in the Paint Chips library for your dynamic film productions, TV and Radio commercials, and corporate promotional campaigns.
