Color in Music Now and the New Color Organ
A London artist has built a color organ costing about 10,000 dollars that translates notes into visual color on a screen as they are heard. Early demonstrations at St James Hall linked Chopin preludes to shifting color waves, showing tones across the spectrum. The device mirrors the piano keyboard so each note yields a color, chords blend like harmonies, and the display offers a visible color counterpart to sound. Historical notes recount color hearing from Dr. Nussbaumer and others, including a Zurich youth and a Nantes ophthalmologist, who perceived colors with pitch or timbre. The piece notes Father Castel’s 1734 color harpsichord concept, arguing Rivington’s achievement as a modern continuation of color-sound linkage.
