Chromapost Outgrowths Booklet

Chromapost Outgrowths is a series of artworks where the colors contained in the online Chromapost diary are translated using different media. Since the original color is basically computer data, every manifestation of the color is a translation, and will appear differently in each medium through which it has been manifested. The outgrowths are grouped into three sets of artworks depending on the approach used for color translation.

Chromapost Sound

Java applet that translates color into sound.
Download at chromapost.com/sound

2600 chromaposts (1 April 2009 - 13 May 2016) are divided into 26 100-day segments. Choose a 100-day segment and click on color bars to play the accompanying sound or chord. Click on a number to get a different range of dates.

The translation is based on converting red, green and blue color values (0 - 255 each) to MIDI values (21 - 108). There are three types of conversion: a single tone (based on the approximated lightness of color), a chord (red, green and blue values are translated into tones that are played at the same time), and a broken chord (same as a chord, except that the tones are played in quick succession).
