色彩音乐:卡斯特尔“视觉大键琴”的实验性设计

Color Music:The Experimental Design of"Ocular Harpsichord"by Castel

以文献研究法梳理出色彩音乐的发展脉络,为音乐视觉化的实践提供理论借鉴。卡斯特尔的视觉大键琴是最早的色彩音乐装置实验,其设计思想来源于文艺复兴时期朱塞佩•阿尔钦博托关于声音和亮度之间关系的设想以及17世纪阿塔纳修斯•克尔彻在著作中绘制的色彩装置的构思。不少艺术家在视觉大键琴的基础上进行改良,多种形式的色彩风琴的呈现进一步推动了色彩音乐走向光色艺术的发展。

The evolution context of the Color Music is arranged by virtue of Literature Study to provide theoretical references for practicing music visualization.The Ocular Harpsichord of Louis Bertrand Castel is a pioneer device experiment of Color Music with design philosophy rooting in the assumption of Giuseppe Arcimbolde in the Renaissance on the relationship between sound and luminance,and the conception of the color device prepared by Athanasius Kircher in his work in the 17th century.Various artists have made improvement on the basis of the ocular harpsichord,and the presentation of Color Accordions in multiple forms further develops Color Music into an art of light and color.
