The Painter by Alboe

KK010: Alboe - The Painter

Established in August 2020, KRUNK KULTURE is a record label from the future by KRUNK. The Painter by Alboe is our next Album Release on Krunk Kulture.

Alboe's debut album, The Painter, is an attempt to narrate a story from start to finish moving along chapters with each song. It focuses on the concept of Synesthesia, the neurological condition that causes a stimulus to activate several of the senses. For example, one might associate music with colour or envision a shape while eating. With this in mind Alboe attempts at creating an association between Alboe's sound and colour.

The album itself is a fictional story revolving around a painter who goes through heartbreak only to find better expression in his art and life. Through this fictional story Alboe aims to depict different emotions and moods that The Painter experiences i.e. heartbreak, loss, guilt, reconciliation, peace and love.

The 10 track album is a blend of synth-heavy and percussive electronica. 5 of these tracks are named after colours - White, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green, each depicting synesthetic correlation between sound and light.

Vedant Chandra or Alboe (A little Bit of Everything) is a New Delhi based singer-songwriter, music producer and DJ.

An attempt at telling stories through rhythm and melody.
