I remember sitting on a bench in the Strasbourg museum of modern and contemporary arts. In front of me was the Salon de Musique designed by Kandinsky. At first, there was the color of the walls. One was made of anise tiles, another was deeply dark. Not much happened. But then, after nearly a minute, the abstract figures started to produce sounds in my mind. Some squiggles turned into a violin section, parallel lines became busy percussions, and soon there was a whole symphony of timbre dialoguing before my eyes. The imagined volume of these sounds left me in a state of oceanic awe that carried me around the museum, open to every piece and profoundly enchanted. Your video made me think again about this experience and realise that it was what Kandinsky intended. How inspiring. Thank you.

I immediately looked up his work and I could not BELIEVE my eyes, he painted EXACTLY what I saw. I was heavily convinced he saw music the same way I do, this video really drove it home. Thank you.

I happen to have synaesthesia and very often assign colours to letters, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, words and especially sounds but I have never seen a colour and heard a particular instrument which is truly fascinating. As a musician and composer, I often feel and see the colours of the music I am creating but never the other way around. I have never seen a painting or colour and instantly been struck by inspiration. When listening to my cello concerto, I see Movement 1 as black, movement 2 as red and movement 3 as blue, which is subject to the key signatures (G, Eb and B - In that order) and the colours of the letters but also the way the music is shaped and how it makes me feel. Truly an extraordinary phenomenon.

A brilliant and informative video on a lesser known aspect of Kandinsky's art. As someone who also has synesthesia myself,I have laerned to embrace it's effect on my life and on my work as an artist,I don't think of it as a condition,more of another compomant of my creativity,after I had a stroke the effects of it became more pronunced.I love looking at abstract art as I can also haer what I'm looking at and it makes viewing art a really unique experience.Kandinsky's paintings have a realy lyrical quality,a sense of his capuring the sounds of colour as he painted them.
