The Colour of Sound: radio series

catching the light

We live in a visually-oriented culture, privileging what we can see over what we can hear. But what if the senses could be blurred? What if each colour had a corresponding pitch and frequency? In other words, what does colour sound like?

In this ABC Radio series Jay-Dea Lopez presents the stories of various musicians, scientists and philosphers who have tried to identify the colour of sound. Listen to their stories and sounds here on ABC Radio.
