SONUS  CREATIONS

A STORY SHARED

 

My first memory growing up was my sense of smell. So acute was this sense of smell that I could smell everything from afar. Everything had smell. Scent became the centre of how I identified everything around me.  I saw colours,  shapes and sound with smells. Wind was the biggest sound and colour, it was what I referred to as a child as Music. My Grandmother would ask "what is the wind playing today, Mozart" and I would reply "Blue". Music was a colour, each individual note had a colour and the notes together were multi coloured shades. Musical colours and smells became a huge stimulus for creativity. I began seeing visuals with sound. I started to write my own compositions and it seemed that only I could read them as they were all written in colours. Each note had an assigned colour to it. I realised I was experiencing something different from others.

 

 

 

People became a huge part in my creations. People had very distinctive scents, I could read information about the person by smelling them. I saw colours around them and visuals would appear in my mind like loud thoughts.. The colours had words floating across my mind like a big TV screen. I started to share those thoughts I heard with those people close to me and realised I was seeing something more. I was seeing them naked in every sense. Their likes and dislikes, their pain and sorrow, their joy and hopes. It was happening with strangers too. Some experiences beautiful and some heavy. People and their emotions became a focal point of my writing. I was capturing real emotions and using those emotions in my writing. I didn't have to think what to write about, the lyrics were already written and I was just putting them to paper.

 

 

 

Smell, colours and sound became a gateway to many platforms. Sonus songs are all created from a real emotional experience of the people and experiences I encounter. A connection of all those acute senses to create a piece of art.
