Monochromes is a hybrid project mixing music, light and colour into a chromatic alphabet.

This installation is a collaboration between visual artist Yannick Jacquet and composer/double bassist Otto Lindholm.

At the heart of Monochromes is a series of 12 unique compositions for double bass and looper, each lasting a fixed 5 minutes. Each composition focuses on a specific note of the musical scale, to which is freely associated a luminous hue, thought of as a sound colour. The result is a chromatic alphabet: the 12 semitones of Western music.

Inspired by EMDR and hypnosis techniques, the two artists open up a space of contemplation and introspection, where they aspire to establish a deep connection with sensations and emotions far removed from the current temporal norms of immediate attention
