INTERVIEW: BRANDON BARSOUMIAN: WHEN TWO FORMS OF ART BECOME ONE
Whether we want to admit it or not, most of us wouldn’t be able to live without art; whether it’s a song that makes you feel understood, even if it’s just for 3 minutes or a painting that makes you reflect on the meaning of life. Without being conscious of it or even realizing it, many people genuinely enjoy various forms of art. What if I told you that there was a talented singer-songwriter/producer who started a musical project based on historically recognized paintings? Brandon Barsoumian started releasing a song a week back in January. Every track is inspired by a painting you probably have seen before, one way or another. For example, his first release was based on “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. During our conversation, Brandon and I discussed his motivation for releasing a song every week, the amount of time someone can spend at the Louvre, his diverse music taste, and much more.
