Yes, But Will There Be a Technicolor Dreamcoat?

If you can’t afford LSD, mark your calendars (February 15th) for the debut of The Sound of Color.

“Does red sound like gurgling, molten lava?” the website asks. “Does green sound like the familiar tune of wind whistling through the trees? Do black and white even make a sound? What is the sound of color?”

We played with the idea of going, “Oh my, what is this? What is this?” but the truth is we already know because we wrote it up for MarketingVOX. This is a Gap campaign for which artists will write songs and make videos about color in all its tie-dye glory.

The site will hock colorful swag and free music downloads. After a month, artists will regain the rights to their songs, and some of the meaner ones might decide they don’t want you downloading their pigment-inspired masterpieces for free. As with manna, hoard as much as you can.
