# Sound-Generating Hues The Audible Color Project By Hideaki Matsui & Momo Miyazaki is Fascinating By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-07-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audible-color-project-by-hideaki-matsui-momo-miyazaki References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/07/20/musical-colors/) Mixing primary colors now doubles as creating musical scores with the Audible Color Project by Hideaki Matsui & Momo Miyazaki. According to [Yanko Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zena-concept-device): “The system of audible color is based on a marriage between basic color and music theories.” It is now entirely possible to generate sounds using primary colors with this audio-visual tool. Using a webcam to detect each shade, the corresponding musical notes are then played accordingly. Each primary color plays a different note, and the technology even allows for mixing to make entirely different [musical sounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece). In addition, the sizes of the colors influence the volume and frequency. It is quite exciting to think that the ability to paint on a canvas and have it simultaneously become a symphonic piece of art will soon be possible thanks to Matsui & Miyazaki. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Audio-visual Connection:** The trend of combining sounds and colors to create an audio-visual experience for artists and audiences alike. - **Multi-sensory Art:** The trend of using technology to enhance traditional art forms by incorporating a new sensory experience for viewers. - **Mixed Reality Performance:** The trend of merging virtual and real-world experiences to create innovative performances that break traditional boundaries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fine Art:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fine arts industry by offering audiences a new multi-sensory experience through audio-visual art. - **Technology:** The use of technology in creating mixed reality performances and audio-visual art opens up new opportunities for innovation within the tech industry. - **Music:** Opportunities for innovation in the music industry by exploring the integration of visual art with music in live performances and studio recordings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Music AI-Generated Visual Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modem.md) - [Sound-Sensitive LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-led-lamp.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md) - [Sensory Explorative Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-sense-of-color.md) - [Intuitive Color Mixing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocolor.md) - [Color-Coded Music Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coloredmusicsheet.md) - [Interactive Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro.md) - [Chromatic All-in-One Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-colorful-audio-set.md) - [Laser-Enabled Color Discoveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-olo.md)
