brucee 1,690 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Chromatica could be her own safe land (Look at the Planet 9 concept by Rose Mc Gowan) Or a metaphor of the real world. For me with that sine going through her on the cover & this rose door leading to an underworld. I think Chromatica is that state that you reach when you're in osmosis with the music. hello hello baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue wig 327 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 She explained it in the Zane Lowe interview. Not sure if I remember everything correctly, but the name comes from the chromatic scale for music, and the ancient Greek word "chroma" for colour. And she says that we're all so different, even putting people on a scale isn't enough to express the range of differences (that explanation is on the promo pic with the release date) So if I've understood correctly, she made an album called Chromatica to celebrate how unique we all are, and Chromatica is both a planet and state of mind in which you accept everyone for who they are "In Chromatica, no one thing is greater than another, and kindness rules all" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamite 50,362 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 At a total guess, it's an all encompassing world of colour and sound which represents and celebrates all our differences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreu 37,216 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Khroma is the word for colour in ancient greek and the album takes place in an imaginary land in which people organise themselves in tribes, each one representing a colour. Besides it's a concept used in music as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromaticRaccoon 1,761 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I think I heard/read somewhere that the concept is something to do with how we put everything and everyone in boxes, how we categorise them/ colour code them ect. And we see things as different colours, instead of viewing the world as one gigantic rainbow. Hence why in Chromatica "no one thing is greater than another" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 FROM a mathematical standpoint, Chromatica is about changing - choosing - your own perspective and viewing colour as sound (and vice versa) through the act of dance as rotation. This is the essence of the branch of mathematics called Fourier analysis, where you can “cut up” a function in one space (say frequency), rearrange it, and get another function in another space (say, colour spectrum). What’s so special about Fourier analysis is how it uses imaginary numbers and yet is utilised in so many fields as diverse as astrophysics, music and medicine! So Chromatica appears to be a universe. One in which the laws of mathematics, and hence motion, are governed by love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
