The Weekly Kickstarter: Chromatic Celebrates the Color of Music
Most of us have heard, say, Jimi Hendrix describing the "color of music". Rather than just being an interesting turn of phrase, however, synesthesia -- the involuntary association of colour with sound -- is actually a relatively common condition that affects many artists and musicians. This week's featured Kickstarter project, Chromatic: The Crossroads of Color and Music, is aimed at celebrating this phenomenon through a vibrant, full-color book that documents the science and artists involved with the intersection of color and sound.
