This is suggested in various letters that he wrote to his brother Theo. Many art historians believe that Vincent van Gogh also had chromesthesia. Kandinsky literally saw colours when he heard music, and heard music when he painted – a specific form of synesthesia called chromesthesia, where a person experiences sound as colour. People with synesthesia can be triggered to smell something when they hear a sound, or to see a shape when they eat a certain food. It’s a rare but real condition in which one sense, like hearing, concurrently triggers another sense, such as sight. The neurological phenomenon he experienced is called synesthesia (or “joined perception”, from the Greek word syn meaning “together” and aisthesis meaning “perception”).

Kandinsky associated each note with an exact hue. My son immediately got down to business “writing” his own song, which looks like this and sounds surprisingly catchy.For the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), music and colour were inextricably tied into one another.

Kids can experiment with music in all sorts of different ways, playing around with chords, arpeggios, sound waves, harmonies and melodies.

I’d all but given up that he would ever really love to create music until I stumbled upon the Chrome Music Lab. On the fifth day-music class day-he’d walk into school slowly, shoulders slumped, knowing that “boooooring music” loomed in his future. He once fidgeted so much during a school concert that he nearly fell off the top riser.īy first grade, he was excited to go to school four out of the five days a week. Except that all his buddies sang and dance while my son stood looking half-bored and half-miserable.

We were so excited for his first preschool holiday concert where he and all his little 3-year-old buddies would sing and dance in unison(ish). Imagine my surprise when, by age 2, he would scream “MAMAAAAA!” to get me to stop singing kid-song-classics like “The Wheels on the Bus.” Dude did not seem to like music (or my singing). It wasn’t a matter of whether our son played in a band it was a matter of which instrument-or instrumentS!-he would choose. My husband and I both played instruments growing up, so we sort of assumed that musical ability and interest was deeply embedded in our genes.
