Chromatic Scale on C

This series is a play of graphics, music and color that owes a degree of inspiration to Piet Mondrian.

Over a muli layered background of sponged and steel wool patted coloration, each note of the chromatic scale is represented beginning with the C in the lower left hand corner. Play the chromatic scale visually by moving your eye from left/right/up/down over the black and white keys.

The four colored boxes represent the musical and visual harmonics of this key, and serve to provide a bond between the black and white rectangles of the scale and the textured background pattern surface.
