Hearing in Color: Synesthesia and the Musician

What happens when composers and musicians hear in colors, shapes, or personalities? How might these extraordinary experiences affect a composer’s writing, or a musician’s interpretation of a piece?

And why do all musicians, whether synesthetic or not, use visual language to describe sound?

On Oct 6th, join Professor Psyche Loui of Wesleyan University and Project LENS to explore the sound world as perceived by the synesthetic brain.
