Creating Chords from Hex Color Codes | 256-EDO Microtonal

A demonstration presenting a method for creating music from color. This piece utilizes an octave of 256 equal divisions to match the 0-255 values found in RGB codes.

Triads, or chords, are formed from the individual Red, Green, and Blue values derived from a five-color palette extracted from an image.

The triads for the RGB values are created using three different methods: constrained to a single octave, stacked in ascending octaves, and stacked by interval.

The root note for all remains the same at an A of 110 Hz.

Color palette creation: Adobe Color
Calculations and sorting: Google Sheets (custom)
DAW: Cubase from Steinberg
VST: Serum2 from Xfer Records, Absynth 6 from Native Instruments
