Kaleidoscope of Colours

Kaleidoscope of Colours is a pseudonym of Berlin based contemporary composer, songwriter & writer Susanne Geisler.
Due to a neurologic phenomenon called „coloured hearing“, a frequent type of synesthesia, any form of listening to music simultaneously activates a cross talk reaction in the colour area of the musicians 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. It allows her to not only generally approach music but compose her own pieces in a very unique way. „If I had to compare it ", the musician states, „I would compare it to one of the Magic Eye pictures from the Nineties, whee the viewer had to diverge his eye in order to see a hidden 3D image within a 2D pattern. And composing on base of the different colors definitely frees me up. I don´t feel like I´m bound to usual harmonic rules." Her musical influence draws from a wide range of famous minimalist and contemporary composers.
