Dolby X RNIB create ‘Sound of a Masterpiece’ to allow blind people to experience art like never before

Dolby’s ‘Sound of a Masterpiece’ is an incredible multi-sensory project aimed at enhancing the experience of artwork for blind and visually impaired individuals across the UK.

The soundtrack pairs visual art with immersive audio, reimagining artistic masterpieces (including Da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ and Edward Munch’s ‘Scream’) through music. This unique auditory experience allows those who cannot see the artwork to hear and feel it in a whole new way.

The initiative represents a huge progressive leap in making art more accessible – using spatial audio to represent the emotions, textures and contrasts within the artwork, in a way that has never been done before.

The Sound of a Masterpiece Tracklist is:

• Mona Lisa – Leonardo da Vinci
• The Water-Lily Pond – Claude Monet
• The Scream – Edvard Munch
• Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbirds – Frida Kahlo
• A Bigger Splash – David Hockney
• Kings of Egypt – Jean-Michel Basquiat
• The Persistence of Memory – Salvador Dalí
