Seeing Sounds, an Interdisciplinary Performance
Seeing Sounds is an interdisciplinary performance that explores the fascinating phenomenon of synesthesia through the medium of self-made graphic scores.
The project, led by the collaborative efforts of a classically trained violinist & illustrator Kaja Majoor and cellist Diederik Smulders, transcends traditional musical boundaries by fusing contemporary music and performance art. The live musical performance, accompanied by visually captivating graphic scores projected on a large screen, invites the audience to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience and explore the interfaces between music and art.
This research project explores not only synesthesia, but also the potential of graphic scores as tools to visually represent sounds. The primary inspiration for the project is synesthesia, and based on that Kaja created her own graphical scores and music. She aims to showcase not only musical proficiency but also illustrative skills within a performance context.
