Abstract
An approach is provided for converting color data into one or more musical notes. The approach involves reading, using a color-reading device, respective colors applied to a canvas by a plurality of drawing instruments as color data, wherein each of the plurality of drawing instruments is configured to draw in respective colors of a color palette, and wherein the respective colors of the color palette correspond respectively to a set of musical notes. The approach also involves processing, using a color processing module, the color data to generate a composition of the one or more musical notes from the color data based on a set of musical notes that correspond to the respective colors in the color data.
Claims22
A system comprising:
- a plurality of drawing instruments, wherein each of the plurality of drawing instruments is configured to draw in respective colors of a color palette, wherein the respective colors of the color palette correspond respectively to a set of musical notes;
- a canvas configured for the plurality of drawing instruments to apply the respective colors of the color palette;
- a color-reading device configured to read the respective colors applied to the canvas by the plurality of drawing instruments as color data;
- and
- a color processing module configured to process the color data to generate a composition of the one or more musical notes from the color data based on the set of musical notes that correspond to the respective colors in the color data.
A computer implemented method for converting color data to one or more musical notes, the method comprising:
- reading, using a color-reading device, respective colors applied to a canvas by a plurality of drawing instruments as color data, wherein each of the plurality of drawing instruments is configured to draw in respective colors of a color palette, and wherein the respective colors of the color palette correspond respectively to a set of musical notes;
- and
- processing, using a color processing module, the color data to generate a composition of the one or more musical notes from the color data based on a set of musical notes that correspond to the respective colors in the color data.
