Ja m e s A M ic h e ls o n , p h y si c is tTRANSCRIPT
Indeed, so strongly do these color phenomena appeal to me
that I venture to predict that in the not very distant future
there may be a color art analogous to the art of sound -
a COLOR MUSIC, in which the performer,
seated before a literally chromatic scale,
can play the colors of the spectrum in any succession or combination,
flashing on a screen all possible gradations of color,
simultaneously or in any desired succession, producing
at will the most delicate and subtle modulations of light and color,
or the most gorgeous and startling contrasts and color chords!
It seems to that we have here
at least as great a possibility
of rendering all the fancies, moods,
and emotions of the human mind as in the older art.
James A Michelson, physicist
