My Synesthesia
"As an auditory-visual synesthete, I experience music as an array of dancing colors and shapes that move together with the melody."

Synesthetic Experiment
"I was wondering whether I could show the cascading flow of emotion of this J. S. Bach famous piece by using only color, the basic shape of circles, and minimalist motion, assigning to each musical chord the visual elements corresponding to it synesthetically."

I see music harmony as colors, and I wanted to control the emotional effect of sound and color simultaneously. For example: when I start with a gloomy harmony, the light is blue. With two programmers, we created a way to change the lighting in real-time as I play by moving in space. It's an exciting way to enhance the overall experience and create a unique sensory experience for the audience.

I have a deep love for playing the saxophone, and when I close my eyes to play a solo, it's like painting a musical story as I tell it.
