Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon which results in an individual experiencing one sensory stimulation as another. Inspired by the idea of being able to “see” music, filmmaker Frederic Bonpapa created Light Motif - a colourful, architectural short film centred around a CGI monkey. The film explores the synergy between music and image through a subjective experience that aims to speak to the viewer’s subconscious.

“...These works try to establish precise connections between sounds, shapes, colors and movements, to visually translate the concepts of rhythm, melody, harmony, pitch, timbre and intensity.”

“The listener passes progressively from a polyphonic perception to a global perception, from the perception of a discontinuous sound phenomenon to a continuous one. In Light Motif it is this perceptual phenomenon that is transcribed into images.”

I'd wondered if you saw this! I believe I'm halfway to seeing sounds, not in color but in form.
