Kaleidoscope of Colours

KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOURS is the artist name of Berlin based contemporary composer, songwriter and synaesthete Susanne Geisler.
Due to the neurologic phenomenon called „coloured hearing“, a frequent type of synaesthesia, any form of listening to music simultaneously activates a cross talk reaction in the colour area of the musician’s brain. And so it happens that the keys of her piano are no longer merely a black and white combination, but colourful images and shapes.

Under her artist name KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOURS the German songwriter has entirely specialized in synaestethic colour composing: each of her tunes represent the colour scale that they have been written on.

Being influenced by some of the greatest contemporary composers and having assisted British composer Max Richter, her tunes reveal both a blend of post-minimalistic pattern wrapped into warm and intimate sounds and the colorful and mesmerizing sounds of neo-impressionism.
