Palettecore
Waves to the shore
Palettecore is an experimental visual language that maps musical pitch into perceptually audited colour spaces. This installation explores whether colour can become a musical notation that remains interpretable across different forms of colour vision.
The sea listens
The live version is even more interesting. It listens to the surrounding environment and turns incoming sound into waves that preserve recent musical history as colour travels towards the shore.
That is a distinctive installation concept for hospitals, libraries and university spaces. The room becomes a slowly evolving audiovisual landscape.
The same holds for digital art festivals, science museums, and music museums with sound-art programmes. The work asks a concrete question, does music have a colour, while letting visitors experience it themselves.

Three pieces
-
Waves to the shore
The full study: each wave carries one note of the pitch-colour helix, with simulated colour-vision toggles and the audited 4-class ladder beside the full chromatic one.
-
Ambient
The sea alone, fullscreen, end to end: background sound and colour for studying. Click anywhere for sound.
-
Live
The sea listens. Microphone or a dropped audio file; each wave is born at the horizon in the colour of the music at that moment. Audio stays in the browser; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
Sound on. The pieces open fullscreen and the interface fades when the pointer rests.
