Painting Music

If you could visualise music what would you see? What colour is a C sharp? What shape is an arpeggio? These are the types of questions that painting music aims to answer. Three classically trained musicians and one artist take you on an unbelievable tour from classical to modern in this beautifully inventive experiment of the synesthesia experience. As the intensity of the music builds, colours become more vibrant and the artist's hands blur over the canvas, emulating perfectly the changes in tone and timbre that these three incredible musicians produce. This won't be for everyone, but if you are willing to open your mind to a new way of experiencing something you won't help but be amazed; simply mesmerising.
