Hearing Colors

Your Own Voice

Episode 03: Neil Harbisson was born with Achromatopsia (ACHM) – he sees the world in grayscale. Yet he perceives more colors than normal sighted humans – and not just the colors that you and I perceive, but infrareds and ultra violets. Neil is the world’s first cyborg to interpret color as sound. The experimental music sequence features samples from “PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH MY FRANKENSTEIN” by Jared C. Balogh. (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Balogh/Irrelevant_Future/PLEASE_DONT_MESS_WITH_MY_FRANKENSTEIN) Also featured is a sample from the track “ItrTtistc (Impossible To Reverse/Time That Is Still To Come)”, a composition out of the Infrasound Laboratory at the University of Hawaii.
