ColorPlay is a musical instrument that is played by composing color.
The musician arranges colorful wedges on a disk that spins - making their composition come alive. The 8 colors of the rainbow (ROY G BIV + White) become the 8 notes of the Major C scale. The width of the wedge determines the rhythmic value.
The ColorPlay was created as a collaboration between Louise Foo and Natasha Dzurny to explore the relationship between color and sound.
