expressing basic human
emotions—tragedy,
ecstasy, doom....”
(Rothko, MoMa Highlights, 1999).
An interpretation of Mark Rothko’s ‘Four Darks in Red’. I tried to capture the painting’s dark, almost sinister atmosphere with deep and sometimes dissonant chord tones.
I used DADGBD tuning, tuned down 50 cents, here. I’m pleased with how the overtones rung out at the end.

I can see colors when hearing music but not the other way around. This is cool!! 😃 Just listening to your music, I see a burgundy too, but it has a bit more of a purple undertone to it. Like the kind of dusky lavender that evening fog has, waiting for the last of red sunset to fall away. That's the dominant, mostly static color. There a kind of ochre/mustard yellow in the right bottom, that ebbs and flows with flares that matches whatever higher note you play for 'black earth'. 'Bloodstone' appears as a horizontal streak of chartreuse/pear green near the top left corner. 🤗🤗 It generally feels like a 'uncanny twilight in a tired wetland' sound.

I love this. You’re linking the colors and mixing techniques someone not “into art” would equate as random or easy to do. illustrating through sound how the tones interact with each other, how carefully they’re chosen. showing us underlying rhythms. Really unique work

Something about this is so familiar and off putting. Love it. - Harley Saltwater
