The Colors Cluster

2026 . . . multimedia digital images, synthesized music . . . 7 minutes

The images are geometric swatches of color, clustering together like quilts. The combinations morph kaleidoscopically into one another.

Sounds are tone clusters (adjacent steps of a common pitch scale sounding simultaneously instead of successively). The clusters contrast in timbre (sound color) and in harmonic complexity, ranging from complex dissonance (metaphorically red on the spectrum) to simpler, purer sounds (blue end of spectrum). Tone clusters accumulate and dissipate in large tides and smaller waves.
