In collaboration with Live Nation’s Creator Nation, artist Haiiileen launches Sound: Creator Nation — a synesthetic series exploring how sound frequencies translate into color, texture, and movement.
Through this ongoing partnership, Haiiileen documents live performances, creating somatic visuals inspired by the music’s vibration. Each post will feature stills, videos, and written reflections born from these experiences — beginning with the sound of KAYTRANADA’s “Witchy (feat. Childish Gambino).”
Title:Sound Study 01 KAYTRANADA – Haiiileen x Creator Nation Live Nation (2025)
- Artist / Creative Director: Haiiileen
- Collaboration: Creator Nation x Live Nation
- Medium: Sound, Synesthetic Video, Still Imagery, Somatic Documentation
- Year: 2025
- Status: Ongoing Series
Description
Sound: Creator Nation marks the beginning of Haiiileen’s collaboration with Live Nation, bridging her world of light, emotion, and synesthesia with the frequencies that move us all — music.
As a Creator Nation Brand Ambassador, Haiiileen dives into the vibration of sound as a living medium — translating what she hears into what she sees. Each work in this ongoing series captures a unique somatic response to the performances, frequencies, and human energy that pulse through live music spaces.
This first entry begins with KAYTRANADA’s “Witchy (feat. Childish Gambino)”, a soundscape that dances between bass, breath, and heartbeat. The artist transforms this experience into stills and motion — color, reflection, and light patterns that mirror how synesthetic perception interprets music as energy, shape, and atmosphere.
“Every sound has a body — a rhythm, a color, a feeling. Creator Nation gives me space to document that vibration in real time.”
Conceptual Framework
- Synesthetic Translation: Transforming live music into multisensory color maps, textures, and visual echoes.
- Somatic Documentation: Using the body as an instrument for visual response — how sound travels through the nervous system, emotion, and sight.
- Cultural Vibration: Exploring the universal resonance between art, sound, and shared human experience.
- Artist-to-Artist Energy: Capturing the frequencies exchanged between performer and audience through lens, light, and movement.
- Frequency Design: Building a chromatic language for each artist’s unique sound signature.
Archival Significance
- Launches Haiiileen’s Sound Series (2025– ) under Creator Nation / Live Nation partnership.
- Extends her synesthetic research into real-time performance-based documentation.
- Connects global music culture with the visual vocabulary of color frequency and energy resonance.
- Serves as a living archive — each new sound or artist experience becomes its own visual study.

“Sound is the oldest form of light. When I hear music, I see color — and when I see color, I feel connected to everything that’s alive.”
