Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book suggests that the principles of sound and color are closely related. This work grounds the premise that the waves used to measure color using the color wheel can be measured using the same scale as musical vibrations. The author presents evidence for this by showing how the color wheel strikingly aligns with the chromatic musical scale, and how measurements of the spectrums of the two scales align almost exactly. The author suggests that this alignment indicates that the scales for light and sound could have the same root principles, which would support the idea that there is an underlying connection between the two. The book dives into the implications of this connection and how it can be applied practically, including an investigation into how this connection has been applied in the works of great painters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
