Deaf Kandinsky
2024
Experimental Documentary
Director, Cinematographer, Sound Designer
This short documentary intertwines Kandinsky’s ideas on the relationship between color and sound with an algorithmic melody generator based on Arnold Schoenberg’s 12-tone system. The film features footage from New York City's museums and streets, paired with the voice of Schoenberg discussing modern art and music.
The music is generated by an algorithm that translates the colors on screen into a 12-tone composition, inspired by Kandinsky’s synesthesia theory. The film also includes excerpts from Kandinsky's On the Spiritual in Art and brief archival clips of Kandinsky painting.
