If music is a language, then colour must be too. In Episode 169 of Pondercast, Laurie Brown asks, does a colour sometimes stop you in your tracks? Can you look around and see how you have pulled your favourite colour close to you?
“I bought Kassia St. Clair's book The Secret Lives of Colour because reading a book that had a different colour on every page combined two of my favourite languages,” says Brown. “Many of the stories you will hear in this episode about how we humans make colour for ourselves came from this book.”
With Joshua Van Tassel composing original music, this episode explores colour as a commodity, a drug, as a poison and as good medicine. We ponder colour as a palette for hate, and how it can also move us to a more peaceful end of the spectrum.
