Video: Sven Van Hees – Emotional Rehabilitation [Live on my MC-909]

Music…art…sound…perhaps?  Electronic music composer, Sven Van Hees hears color – a condition known as Synesthesia that effects 1 in 25,000 people (mostly women and those with left handed persuasions).  Van Hees sees instruments as colors (strings/yellow, bass/red) and creates sonic color paintings as a result.  Turns out this YouTube video riff by Bergen1982, of one of Hees’ early songs (Emotional Rehabilitation, 1991), flips Hees’ sonic art into video art.  It’s been said that much of Hees’ later work, sometimes categorized as downtempo, could give viagra a run for its money.
