The dissertation examines the relationship between music and visual perception and the way in which auditory stimuli trigger visual and emotional associations. The aim of the research was to investigate synaesthetic reactions of listeners to musical excerpts and to determine whether there are recurring patterns in the perception of colors, shapes, textures and emotions when listening to different sound compositions. Particular attention was paid to examining the correspondence between the perceptions expressed and the theoretical foundations of color psychology.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used for the study. As part of the experimental part, five original musical compositions were created specifically for the purpose of the study. These recordings were then included in an online survey created using the Google Forms tool. The questionnaire was structured to collect data on perceived colors, visual elements, textures and emotions. A total of 80 responses were collected.
The results showed that the majority of participants associated certain colors and emotions with the pieces of music, with clear patterns of perception emerging for individual compositions. It was found that these patterns were often consistent with the theory of color psychology and the concept of audiovisual synesthesia. Based on the analyzed results, posters were created that transform sounds into visual artworks using colors, shapes and compositional principles to provide a multi-sensory experience.
