SynScore Ltd
SynScore develops creative projects exploring the arts and perception, working with neurodiverse artists and brings remarkable stories about the arts to the screen. Planet Lab Studios makes cinematic science films for Netflix, BBC and National Geographic, and builds intelligent AI tools, including George, an AI investment research assistant. Together, as Neurochromatic, we are creating a new technology to map musicians’ synaesthetic perception (where music is experienced as colour) and render it live as a visual experience, so audiences can finally see what the artist sees. Around one in twenty-five people experience synaesthesia; until now, only they could see it.

For some artists, music isn’t only heard. It’s seen.
Neurochromatic reveals that missing half of the story. Around one in twenty-five people have synaesthesia, and for some musicians every note and chord arrives with its own colour, texture and movement: a private visual world that, until now, only they could see. Neurochromatic makes that world visible. After a short calibration with each artist, its real-time AI system listens to live music, recognises the harmony as it happens, and renders the artist’s own synaesthetic colours and visual poem as an experiential projection on stage. Audiences don’t see a generic light show. They see the music as the artist experiences it. More than a century ago, the composer Scriabin dreamed of flooding concert halls with the colours he heard, but the technology of his day couldn’t keep up.
Neurochromatic brings that dream to living artists, in real time. The technology is being piloted with composer Jessica French, whose complete colour map has been captured and validated note by note across her choral work. Applications range from concert halls, festivals and live broadcast to music video, education and perception research. Neurochromatic is a joint venture between SynScore Ltd, led by Emmy and Grierson-winning producer Andrea Miller, and Planet Lab Studios Ltd, led by Emmy-nominated director and technologist Nick Shoolingin-Jordan, whose credits include Netflix’s The Dinosaurs and Life on Our Planet. The project is supported by CoSTAR Emerge-AI.
