twelve

I think a lot about things that I don't really understand, or feel that I don't have the capability to understand, concerning colour, music and math. One of the things that I often think about is how we may be able to compare the map of hue waves to maps of waves of musical notes. I cannot find much information on the subject. I think it is something that still needs to be explored.

This site claims that C can be mapped as the colour red as it says that C has the longest wave in colour and in musical notes.

However this site has C mapped out as the colour green. It says that this chart is "completely accurate and non-arbitrary because it is generated by frequency doubling the notes 41 times until we find them in the hertzian band of visible light."

Ugh.

TOO BAD I AM RICH SUPER GENIUS WITH A TEAM OF MORE SUPER GENIUSES AT MY DISPOSABLE.

At any rate this is something I am interested in learning more about but I think I need to understand hertz's and numbers first.

Okay, now I am looking up fibonacci numbers and getting extra confused.

I think I may just try to think about sounds as warm or cool for now. Bye!

i had this kind of thought about sound and sight before but it stemmed more from comparing photoshop with music recording equipment.... like layers and channels and things like that. it got me thinking about how these two senses are made up of the same elements (sound/light waves). i kind of thought that learning more about anatomy would make me understand it more, but it really didn't. if anything, it made it more confusing. but i agree that it should be explored more. i'm not going to explore it, but i'll read the book if someone writes it.
