NUMBERS, SOUNDS AND COLOURS (1):

Here are a few facts that will guide the project from the outset:
  • All phone numbers are made up of a sequence of numbers taken from a pre-set standard (0-9).
  • This ascension is replicated in sound through volume or pitch. We could say that the louder a sound gets the higher the number (as with volume dials).
  • We can also distinguish between shifts in bass and treble applied, this can have physical impacts as well. As the bass gets heavier the number gets larger.
  • The eye is also sensitive to changes in tone from light to dark in both colours and grayscale.
  • This change is related to numbers (hrs/mins) daily through the rising and the setting of the sun.
  • All colour can be positioned accurately on colour wheels which go through 360 degrees. These wheels can therefore be divided by any given number giving sequences of colours of equal difference.
