Vermilion
Chromesthesia, or sound-to-color synesthesia, is a condition in which sound involuntarily evokes experiences of color, shape, or movement. Releases in this series are artifacts of remote, improvised performances over the internet by members of the Exposure Therapy collective.
For this album, four members of the Exposure Therapy collective improvised together remotely, each responding to the color vermilion. Long associated with life, power, passion, and ritual, vermilion has carried different meanings across cultures for thousands of years.
