What if you could see a symphony?
For millennia, philosophers, scientists, and artists have suspected a hidden harmony connecting the senses. In M.U.S.I.C. Theory (Making Undulatory Sound Into Colour), David Labay explores this ancient quest to bridge the gap between the audible and the visible. From the mystical "Music of the Spheres" of Pythagoras to Sir Isaac Newton's prismatic correlations and the quantum "singing" of atoms today, this book traces the evolution of "Colour Music" through the centuries.
Part historical detective story and part scientific exploration, Labay reveals how the mathematical ratios of the universe connect the notes we hear to the colors we see. By bridging the gap between Newton's prism and modern quantum mechanics, he provides the reader a rigorous scientific framework for the ancient intuition of synesthesia. Discover the "Law of Octaves" that governs both the periodic table and the piano, and learn how the "Lighting Revolution" is finally making the invisible visible on stages everywhere.
Whether you are a musician, a scientist, or a dreamer, M.U.S.I.C. Theory will change the way you look at the spectrum and the way you listen to the world. The Universe has a soundtrack-and it's written in color.
