Minimal

The "seed song" for this thread is Minimal by Eric Schwartz, from his album Redder Than Ever. It prompted a photograph by Cameron Murphy.

Cameron Murphy

Eric Schwartz's song Minimal inspired this photograph by Cameron Murphy of Louisville, Kentucky. The photo has prompted two songs so far: Black And White Dress by Jaspar Lepak and I'm Just A Witness by Tracy Newman. A couple of years later, Cameron wound up playing bass on Rain Perry's song Magical, also part of this thread. Coincidence? Maybe.

Black and White Dress

Cameron Murphy's photo inspired this song from Seattle's Jaspar Lepak (whose song I Know A Woman is a "seed song" for another thread in the project). This song, which is now on Jaspar's album Desert Ghosts, prompted two drawings; one by Kaitlyn and one by Margaret Donahue.

I'm Just a Witness

Cameron Murphy's photograph inspired this song by Tracy Newman, who has written at least three songs for Now See Hear, and whose song I Just See You is a "seed song" for another thread. This song prompted a photograph by Patrick McGowan.

Patrick McGowan

Tracy Newman's song I'm Just A Witness inspired this photograph by Southern California's Patrick McGowan (#patrickmcgowanphotography), who has also contributed photographs in other Now See Hear threads. Patrick's photo prompted Carl Solomon to write the song Rosa Marie.

Carl Solomon

Patrick McGowan's photograph inspired Carl Solomon's song Rosa Marie. Carl also contributed the song Just Like You to Now See Hear, which you can listen to on another thread. A recording of Rosa Marie is confidently expected any second now.
