Science Meets Art: Sound

What is sound? How to engage with sound?

Wassily Kandinsky saw colors when he heard music and heard music when he painted. He once said, “the sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.”
