Subject: color wheel, and sound wheel From: Kevin Austin <kevin.austin@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:49:46 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Perhaps one way to get into this is to place frequencies (or wavelengths) onto the color wheel. Does every color have a unique frequency? What is the frequency of white? or grey? I take the color wheel to be a psychometric in interpretation, but metric in its representation. Is it possible to determine whether the 'sound wheel' being sought is a metric or psychometric object? Another aspect that I have difficulty with [at one level] is that while color exists 'outside of time' (almost), sound doesn't. Also, most sounds have on-going spectral transformation (except those sine tones found in psychology experiments ... ) but may be this is not about how 'real sounds' occur in nature, but is about something else.
