31469 At the Crossroads of the Senses
Synaesthetic notions and metaphors have often been associated with colorful spinning disks and musical circles, from Newton’s color-pitch circle to  Scriabin’s and Rimsky-Korsakov’s color-tonality circles of fifths and Kupka’s Disks of Newton, circular fugues, and circular vermillion color-form. The embedded tag visualization maps out the connections of color-sound disks to synaesthesia.
