week 6

Week6
During this week I am just concentrating in my research and project.
I just found an interesting diagram about music and colour by SIR ISAAC NEWTON:



SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S COLOUR MUSIC WHEEL. The colours of the spectrum, as they appeared in "Opticks" of 1704, are shown in sequence from red to violet, as wedges between musical notes. This diagram delineates an idealized musical system, as the metaphorical framework for the newly-discovered pure colours of sunlight.


That means that since the 17th century there was an interest about music and colours and how the music can be represented.
