What Color Is Your Scream?

We invited friends to come scream in a studio, and then asked them, what color does that sound like to you?

What makes you scream? What does it feel like to scream? SCREAM SESSION, an ongoing audio project, draws on the notion of engineered screaming, gathering individuals from across NYC with varying fears and excitements, into a single voice.


Scream Session #1 explores what a scream could look like by asking participants, “What color do you scream in?”


The people whose screams you’re listening to all got into a soundproof recording booth over the course of an afternoon in November and just… let it out. Their only instructions were to scream as loudly as possible, while thinking about something that excites and/or terrifies them, and then share the color they felt accompanied their scream.


What you’ll see: Color spheres that correspond with each screamer's vision of their own scream.

What you’ll hear: A looping compilation of screams from all the screamers.
