cNoteART Founder to Discuss Stem Cell Transplants, Synesthesia and Turning Music Into Art at Colgate University

Erik Rosen of cNoteART will discuss stem cell transplants, synesthesia and the origins and entrepreneurial challenges of creating art from such diverse musicians as Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, George Gershwin and Lady Gaga at Colgate University.

New York, NY, March 23, 2010 – cNoteART is pleased to announce that Erik Rosen will be speaking at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY about the opportunities and challenges of creating art from music in June 2010.

The title of the discussion is, “Seeing Music During a Stem Cell Transplant: A Case Study in Creating and Marketing Art from Synesthesia.”

The description of the lecture: “What happens when you lock a lawyer in a hospital room, obliterate his immune system and pump him full of opiates? He sees music, of course. This is an example of a sensory misfire known as synesthesia. Erik will explore what music looks like and the process and entrepreneurial challenges of sharing that vision with others. This will lead to a group discussion, including questions and answers.”

Examples of musical images, or “cNOTEs,” that may be discussed are Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel,” Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World,” U2’s “One,” George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” The Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” and Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”

Colgate Scene, Financial Consultant–Turned–Synesthetic Artist

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 10:03:18 -0500

As Erik Rosen ’90 lay in bed at MemorialSloan Kettering Hospital a year ago, he couldn’t hear the VelvetUnderground’s “Rock and Roll” coming out of his iPod, but he could see it in a kaleidoscope of colors on the wall. Rosen’s synesthesia (when a stimulus in one sense involuntarily elicits a sensation in another sense) has been the inspiration for his cNote Art, which he exhibited over the summer at the Conde Nast Building in Times Square, New York City.

Comparing his experience to something out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Rosen said that he’s not sure if the synesthesia that happened to him over the course of a few days was a result of his medical condition, or the pain reliever he was being administered. Lying in a sterile room for 35 days after his second stem cell transplant for Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Rosen was at one of his lowestpoints, he said.

Rosen, a financial consultant, took the synesthesia experience and turned it into a positive by creating a computer platform to produce images that mimic what he saw. Although he
doesn’t still experience the synesthesia, Rosen said he believes the platform
is an accurate portrayal of his vision. Rectangles of various widths represent note duration, and each musical pitch has a corresponding color. The resulting pattern of various size
and color blocks is a visual representation of the song. From Beethoven to Eminem, Rosen is able to create a work of art based on any song request. One client’s request
that demonstrates Rosen’s range was Notorious B.I.G.’s “Mo Money Mo Problems.”

Rosen, who prefers classic rock such as tunes by Bob Dylan, said an inexplicable phenomenon that has occurred is that people are often attracted to the artworks that represent the songs they like best. “When people tell me that I have a great sense of color or a great pattern, it’s not me, it’s Bob Dylan,” he said. “I’m just trying to be a conduit between the aural and visual.”

Photographs of Recent cNote Art Installations

Trendspotting by Betty Newman

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:11:30 -0400

I happened to be walking through the Conde Nast Building on Tuesday and saw these images that reminded me of African textiles – I was thinking it was so interesting that they were on display! As I walked closer and saw the name of the exhibit, I realized, in fact, it wasn’t African textiles – but cNOTE art by Erik Rosen. Erik, after going through a stem cell transplant procedure, started seeing the music – these colorful images are a phenomena called synesthesia – basically a misfiring of the senses. He created these beautiful images of boxes of differing shapes to represent the notes he sees. Since it reminds me so much of the African textiles I so adore – it makes me think if some of the artists of the earliest textiles also had this unique sensory experience. Either way – definitely check out Rosen’s images on view until July 20th!

NY Artist Transforms Music into Modern Art Images Through Near-Death Experience Durst Organization to Feature Works at Conde Nast Building Lobby Gallery

Thu, 4 Jun 2009 11:04:36 -0400

NEW YORK (June 4, 2009) – Erik Rosen, a New York artist, discovered how to translate music into Modern Art during a near-death experience. The Durst Organization will feature Erik’s interpretation of The Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and Bob Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street,” among others, at the Conde Nast Lobby Gallery, 4 Times Square, New York from June 15th through July 20th.

How it happened…
While in the depths of a stem cell transplant to treat lymphoma, Erik experienced “synesthesia” – a condition in which the senses misfire. For example, people feel odors, taste color or see sound. In Erik’s case, he saw the music emanating from his stereo. The songs revealed themselves as brightly colored rectangles on his hospital wall.

After his experience, Erik created a platform to transform musical notes into a visual image, or a cNOTE™. A cNOTE is comprised of a group of rectangles, each representing a note of a song. The color of the rectangle is determined by the pitch of the note, while the width represents the note’s duration. By arranging the rectangles in a linear form, it creates a song. It is music reflected in a picture. Any song can be transformed into a cNOTE.

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer Patient Turns Music Into Modern Art During Stem Cell Transplant

Fri, 3 Apr 2009 02:00:30 -0400

New York, NY, April 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- While in the depths of his second stem cell transplant to treat Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Erik Rosen discovered how to turn music into Modern Art.

In the Fall 2009, Erik was locked in a “clean room” for 35 days while he underwent an Allogeneic Transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City. Erik’s lungs filled with fluid, he was hours from kidney dialysis and he had no immune system. He was on a morphine drip.

That is when he saw The Velvet Underground’s Rock and Roll in his hospital room. He watched one song after another burst out of the iPod dock that he received a few days earlier for his 40th birthday. The notes echoed against the white masonry in an opiate-laden kaleidoscope of colors. This became the foundation for cNOTE Art, a custom Modern Art studio that can turn any song into a fine art.

Erik has virtually no formal training in music or art and has no idea why this happened to him. Since the transplant, Erik learned that other people also have sensory misfires. Some people can taste sound, feel odors, see pain, etc. It is a condition known as Synesthesia.

cNOTE is the platform that Erik created to express his Synesthetic experience. The cNOTE is a musical image. One means of creating a cNOTE is the “Rectangle Method.” The Rectangle Method achieves a superior aesthetic by redefining the two components of a musical note: duration and pitch. Here, duration is represented by rectangle size and pitch by color.
