Dawn by Exposure Therapy

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.

The project uses a 12x12 color grid where each hue corresponds to a root note and each shade links to a scale mode. Darker colors relate to darker tonalities.

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 Dawn. Dawn represents the first light of morning, warm yet still holding traces of the preceding night. The resulting session was mixed and mastered to create this album.

Chromesthesia is an ongoing series, with each release shaped by a new color and a new collaboration.

Exposure Therapy is a live experimental music performance series.
