Amethyst

Chromesthesia, or sound-to-color synesthesia, is a condition in which sound involuntarily evokes experiences of color, shape, or movement. This concept forms the basis of the Chromesthesia series. Releases in this series are artifacts of remote, improvised performances over the internet by members of the Exposure Therapy collective. The color and root note pairings serve as a shared anchor, offering a common reference for interpretation while the musical framework maintains cohesion among the performers. For this album, four members of the Exposure Therapy collective improvised together remotely, all responding to the color Amethyst. Amethyst has historically represented purity, clarity, and spiritual sobriety over the ages.

Stripping away all but the atmospheric, his music explores the qualities of loud, unrestrained sounds reflected in architectural spaces, blending together deeply echoing remnants that reverberate through massive, industrial environments.
