Alexander Scriabin's Eighth Piano Sonata (excerpt)

Owen Zhou, a Ph.D. music student at the University of Colorado, discussed and performed Alexander Scriabin's Eighth Piano Sonata with colored lighting and other effects on March 22 in the ATLAS Black Box. Scriabin was influenced greatly by the neurological phenomenon synesthesia, a condition where one's sense is stimulated by another sense. In Scriabin's case, he associated certain colors with different harmonies and devised his own "circle of color."
