Let’s face it, the world would be a pretty strange place without maps. Having a clear, bird’s-eye view of an area makes it possible to really get around. Otherwise, how would we know where we’re going? If we want to easily move from “point A” to “point B,” then we’ve got to get a lay of the land.

Before people had mapped out all the oceans and continents, Christopher Columbus had to guess where he was going. And he nearly died after getting lost at sea. Sure, he stumbled upon the “New World.” But if you ask me, that was just dumb luck. Aimless movement is not the best way to travel.

Since the days of Columbus, maps have come a long way. I mean, we now have detailed globes, satellite pictures, and high-tech GPS devices. These days, you really have to try to get lost. And it’s all because of maps.

So why should things be any different when it comes to music? After all, it can be hard to play note patterns when you can’t see where you’re going. Without a road map to music, playing an instrument is like heading into some unknown territory. If we were living in the Middle Ages—or on another planet—that might be acceptable. But these days, we have a better option.

Like a treasure map guiding us to our destination, Color Music gives us a clear view of the whole musical landscape. Exploring the world of sound has never been as easy or as fun. And believe me, what we’re about to see might be even cooler than finding the “New World.”
