research

I've been looking a lot this week at the relastionships between colours, scientists/peoples own colour codes, how they see sound as colour, researching people who have colour-sound synesthesia and collating what i think are the important pieces of information of all these bits to help me decode my own colour palette. I have relea-rnt how to read music (something i haven't done for about 11 years) and i'm really enjoyin the project so far. There is a lot of scientific language around the assignment of colours to music but im taking it all in and am hoping to be able to symbolise some of it through my final images and animations.

This site has been a big help to me in learning about Isaac Newtons and various other peoples colour wheels/charts.
