Chromesthesia

By mapping between musical notes and colors this project seeks to bring attention to Interactive art catered to people that are visually impaired or have no functional hearing. Using machine learning, I trained my model with 5 specific movements, each movement generates a sound of the solfège (DO-RE-ME-FA-SOL) each musical tone has a color assigned. “Sound can be seen, and color can be heard”. I was inspired by by the prompt below:

If you take the frequencies of each note in Hz (in equal temperament) and multiply them by 240 (40 octaves), you get a number in the THz, which would fall into the visual range if it represented the frequency of an electromagnetic wave instead of a sound wave.
