Kind of blue?
Well, I guess. I do hear a lot of blue notes in this, which is pretty much a given, since it’s jazz. And it does invoke a certain sense of melancholy every now and then, which is generally associated with “the blues”.
And on the album cover the guy is wearing a piece of clothing that is kind of blue.
But if I had to pick a color that describes this most closely, I’d have to say it’s “Puce”. That’s the color of a blood engorged flea’s stomach, in case you didn’t know.
Honest!
Some describe it as a brownish purple color, which is relevant, because the sounds on this album invoke the same brain waves as purple and brown noise when they are played simultaneously (although the music on the album is much more melodic).
This an ingenious approach to music! The brown noise is often used to help people sleep, while purple noise is more suited to calming tinnitus. So, this music lulls you into a relaxed state, meanwhile calming that eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sound (that you had just managed to forget about but seeing that long string of the letter e has reminded you it is still present and louder than ever. Sorry about that).
If you listen to this album all the way through (which I must confess I have not, because I find it pretty boring), you’ll see what I mean. You’ll be asleep and will have forgotten about the you-know-what, which if I mention it will come screaming back at full volume, especially if you are asleep.
Which I hope you’re not at this point – I’d find it somewhat offensive that you fell asleep while reading this.
So anyway, let’s agree to call this “Kind of Puce” instead, ok?
