Mary Bichner<\/a> is a classical composer from Boston with the twin special powers of perfect pitch and synasthesia, which in practice means she can sing beautifully and she sees colors when music is playing. She is also a big fan of Sailor Moon<\/i>. In the video below, she combines all three of those things to delightful effect.<\/p>\n

Throw Stones<\/i> is inspired by Galaxia’s challenge at the end of Season 5 – there is a full, spoilery explanation here<\/a> – but you don’t have to know anything about Sailor Moon<\/i> to appreciate this delicately lovely tune. <\/p>\n

Also interesting: the colors used in the video reflect Bichner’s synasthetic visions of both Galaxia and August, the month of the song’s release.<\/p>\n
