IV. Hopeful Yellow

Synesthesia leads some people to mix different senses at the same time. Related to these preludes, the idea of representing colors by emotive sounds is clearly a synesthetic point of departure. The natural development of this composition travels from the ultraviolet to the infrared (human vision limits).
For me, each color has a different emotional intensity. Thus, we have an Eternity Purple flying in paradise, a Sad Blue crying in a dark day, a Jumping Green sprouting in the Spring, an Illusion Yelow loving the sun and a Devil Red inside a roaring storm.
