This article describes the Chromossonium, the project of an interactive environment conceived to host performances of Chromossonia, a synesthetic language for performance and composition. Chromossonia is based in a theoretical particle named Chromossound, which unites sound and color in a non-hierarchical way, and with which we expect creators to be able to compose scored pieces to be staged and performed in the Chromossonium. Following a description of how these elements are conceived, and which are its theoretical demands, the paper discusses the many potential directions of research the project offers, and the promises it brings. Then we discuss the technical challenges we found in the process of its implementation, choosing to generate the Chromossound as the output of a neural network, according to some technical choices and a defined architecture.
