Every wine contains its own unique emotion.
The magic of Vinisthesia is to capture this emotion in a tiny piece of music that lasts just as long as the taste of one sip, and then combine them to create a multi-sensory experience.
Growing up in the heart of Oregon wine country, musician Forest Mountain Lion found he could hear the taste of each wine and play them as a flourishing cascade of notes on the piano. Rushing highs, trembling lows, and the tension of consonance, dissonance, and rhythm at the heart of a good wine’s originality. Thus, Vinisthesia was born, from the Italian word vini, for wines, and the rare phenomenon of synesthesia, where two or more of the five senses meld into one.
