Messiaen developed ... ( 5 months ago by jevalles)
Messiaen developed color clairaudience while he was in solitary confinement in a concentration camp during World War II. Afterwards he saw colors when sounds were made, & related them to human feelings. He quickly realized that birds are the world's greatest musician-artists, and began to incorporate their songs into his music. See videos of him notating birdsong in nature. This is not a typical musical composition; it transcends that concept. It is Music at service to Prayer & Contemplation.

This is, moreover, his own unique system, purposefully described in his "Technique de mon language musical", using a composition method of "limited transpositions". It makes his music instantly recognizable as his and his alone.

Messiaen was not in concentration camp, but at a so called "Stalag", a sort of prison camp. The main purpose with these were not extermination, as was with the concentration dito. He wouldn
´t have gotten out of the latter sort alive. This man was without one of the last centurys greatest composers, if not the greatest!

Everyone keeps comparing him to Debussy. Why? He might use a few similar techniques, but just use your ears. He has a completely different sound. He is a pure genius.
