COLOR HARMONY x HARMONIC ANALYSIS

Color Harmony x Harmonic Analysis is a collection of posters that explore the concept of harmony in color and sound. It proposes a theoretical translation between the harmony of colors and the harmony described in western music theory based on teachings from mathematics, physics, and philosophy. The series explores a comparison between light and sound waves, western music theory visualized as color schemes, and harmonic analysis translated into color analysis. The collection is an attempt to capture moments of temporal art forms in a static medium that is visually exciting. The concepts in music theory and acoustics are not easily accessible, and often require disciplined study to grasp. This project attempts to show these concepts in an intuitive way.
