What is The Dartboard?
The Dartboard is a concept album by the artist Carseat (my artist name) of songs that my synesthesia created during my lucid dreams. The dreams span from happy comical ones to my worst nightmares to date. The album art is a visual development of the pieces, created by Kris McCarthy. The songs are currently in the process of being mixed by Olivia Monarch and will shortly be released on all media.
The interactive site created in Max 8 allows for the user to click on a panel of the album art and have the song that corresponds to that panel play. Some further synesthesia-related information is provided, including the zoomed-in panel and a sketch of the dream by me (myself, and I). The interaction from the user to the music is an interesting connection to make -- perceiving someone else's synesthesia is an extremely personal experience that opens up opportunities for healthy disagreement on interpretation.
