RêveriesSharing Visions
Certain people see colors every time they listen to music. Others tend to see and taste sounds. People with a trained ear, who have the ability to identify sounds and notes by their musical appellation, often say they hear these notes or see the relationship between notes like so many colors. This cross-fertilization of senses is called synaesthesia. The most usual kinds of synaesthesia in adults is from sound to vision. In Sharing Visions, composer Steward Grant and painter Sam Black reverse the process to explore the transformation of visual art into music in Grant's popular symphonic work, "The Sam Black Sketches". A blend of documentary, art exhibit and videoclip that calls on childhood senses we thought we had lost.
