explanation
this is an experiment in synesthesia. I've been listening to more and more electronic music, and reading about the early modernist classical composers who pioneered electronic music, and I realized at some point that krautrock has the most distinctly orange color of any music I've ever heard. I painted this while listening to Kraftwerk and Can.
