a common space for harmonic overtones
| I'm trying to find an information about sound-color relations. One of most commonly system used - associates C with red, D with orange, E with yellow and so on. My question here is: Where from this system of associations came from? When and where it was created? I know other systems of color-sound tuning (like the one, based on octaves, where C is green if you follow up the frequency), and I'd like to know if this one - is a symbolic one, or if it has a deeper (pysiological? philosophical?) background. Whoever I ask - nobody knows, but all of them - use this association scale. Can you help? And I'd like also to know if there are other "technical" association systems. |
