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