Abstract: Presentation of a proposal of correspondence
between Colour and Music. This proposal is
materially exemplified by means of a new hyperinstrument,
which gives its users the control over
a multi-sensorial algorithmic composition
generated in real-time. The employed
methodology and mathematical model are also
presented with some detail, insofar as they
pretend to be matter and reference for future
developments in the field of multi-sensorial
composition.
