I’m excited about the new year for several reasons. Some of them are dorky — like the fact that 12 is one of my favorite numbers (you know, because there are 12 notes in the chromatic scale). And some of them are just downright cool — like the fact that we’ll be launching a number

“Holy crap! Check out this expert juggler performing with the classic Beatles song, “Golden Slumbers/The End.” Your mind will officially be blown. (Also, you might notice some interesting number patterns going on here … he’s keeping beat with music in 4/4 time … while juggling three balls … with two hands. It’s beautiful.) Thank you

This post is continued from “Consonance and Dissonance (Part 3)“ Using Color Music, we can actually see the pattern of consonant and dissonant intervals. And without a doubt, the connection between complementary colors and tritones is awesome. But we can see even more. For example, check out the gradation bar below. It highlights exactly what’s

This post is continued from “Consonance and Dissonance (Part 1)“ In music, consonant and dissonant intervals are super-important.

We just rearrange the 12

So the other day, I was talking with Ben. He plays guitar and is really good. And we started chatting about consonant and dissonant intervals in music. You know … because it’s super-interesting stuff … and, well … um, wait … what are you looking at? Okay, we were totally geeking out. And, like any

Color Music is sweet because it reveals every note pattern in music. At a glance, each color tells us which note is which … and how they all relate. Like a powerful one-two punch, this color code gives us a big advantage in music. But the colors alone can’t do the job. Which is why

(… continued from “Color Code, part 3“) Looking at music through the letters and numbers is like wearing a pair of opaque glasses. If you can’t really see through the lenses, then what is the point? Ahhh … but this is where Color Music comes in. Because it finally solves our problem. Like a pair
