Sculpting Sound: Robert Babicz’s Music Leads to Happy Accidents
Imagine seeing sound and hearing color. Pretty wild, right? Those “superpowers,” or better known as synesthesia, have shaped Robert Babicz‘s music. People with synesthesia have a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. It could be “seeing” music as colors when hearing it or “tasting” textures like “round” or “pointy” when eating food. Translating his rare gift of synaesthesia, his ability to see music and hear color has helped Babicz create “happy accidents” for almost 30 years. The seasoned producer and live act, known for sporting a red scarf while performing, shares how he’s improvised his music to sculpt sounds that bring joy to others.
