What Color Do You Hear?

Take a box of crayons

or a child's stick of chalk

crank up your favorite music

and listen with your 

EYES.

What colors do you hear?

SYNESTHESIA

  is the 

MAGIC  

that happens in the brain

when one type of stimulus

such as a certain color 

produces a secondary 

sensation 

such as a specific smell 

or taste sensation.

so LISTEN 

and COLOR in

the MUSIC.

Does the deep, rich sound of the cello

LOOK like a CHOCOLATE BROWNIE?

PAINT IT.

Do the light tunes of your youth 

bring sweet memories to your palate?

COLOR IT!

Do the sophisticated sounds of your 

maturity 

look like 

a Paris fashion statement?

get out the water colours and 

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

What would the chaotic order of JAZZ look like

or would Chopin's NOCTURNE evoke the sparkle of 

moonlight?

Bring out the GLITTER.

Could Stravinsky's EXPLOSIVE

THE RITE OF SPRING

inspire 

you 

to produce your next masterpiece on that intimidating

empty canvas or page?
 

 If you 

simply can't fathom the layers of 

possibility
