Pace Playlists

Step into the studio of William Monk with our next curated playlist:

"The sounds of my studio tend to fit the mood I’m in," Monk says. "I'll play one or two albums obsessively until I’m in the mood for something else–usually only after I’ve finished a painting, which can take months."

"I like the hypnotic state I get when painting; it’s an intensely quieter version of myself, and playing music helps me achieve this feeling. I can remember all the music I was listening to for all the paintings I have ever made."
