Description

 The invention relates to the field of color music and can be used in the boundary areas of sound and sound waves, light, heat and other radiation, medicine and computer technology.

 Known methods of color accompaniment of music, in which the musical octave becomes in accordance with the spectrum, while the sound of a certain tone (note) corresponds to a certain color, i.e. accompaniment is built on a frequency basis (rather than amplitude or timbre) (B. Galeev, Light Music: The formation and essence of new art, KAI, Kazan, 1976).

 Known Castell's method (1720), in which the note "salt" corresponds to red, and the note "to" - blue, but it does not allow you to save the melody, since the correspondence is far from proportional - the spectrum is located on the contrary. In the method of Finn (1881), an increase in the frequency of sound began to be accompanied by an increase in the frequency of color, but the spectrum still remained not proportional and the melody was not preserved when accompanied.

 In the method of F. Yuryev (F. Yuryev. Music of the Light. - Kiev, 1971) the following correspondence was established: “do” - red, “do-sharp” - orange, “re”, “re-sharp” - yellow, “mi "," fa "- green," f-sharp "- blue," salt "," salt-sharp "- blue," la "," la-sharp "," s "- purple. The proportionality to the spectrum is almost observed - the spectrum has less yellow and blue and more red. Accompaniment by this method allows you to almost save the melody, but does not ensure the purity of accompaniment, since the frequency ratio of the accompanied and accompanying vibrations is not selected whole. Accompanying only interferes with perception, and does not strengthen it.

There is also known a method of color accompaniment of music, as well as color accompaniment, including accompaniment of notes on a frequency basis (Galeev BM, Sayfullin RF Light-musical devices. - M: Energy, 1978, p.134-138)
The disadvantage of this method is the inability to save the necessary melody.

 The technical result of this method is to create a performance in which the melody is saved, and the effect of accompaniment is enhanced.

 The essence of the invention lies in the fact that it establishes a new condition for the accompaniment of one oscillation by another, namely: the oscillation of a certain tone (note) of one octave of the frequency series should be accompanied by the fluctuation of the same tone (note) of another parallel octave of the frequency series. Parallel accompaniment is a process in which the ratio of the frequencies of the accompanying and accompanied oscillations is constant, which allows you to save the melody due to proportionality, and the strict correspondence of the tone of the accompanying tone to the accompaniment ensures that the accompaniment is clean.

Example: For a melody - up to ₁ - pe ₂ - si ₄
non-parallel support - up to ₂ - re ₁ - si ₅
parallel tracking - up to _n - re _{n + 1} - si _{n + 3} , where n = ± 0, 1, 2, ...

 To determine the tone (note) of the oscillation, we divide the frequency series into octaves (i.e., those sections in which the frequency changes by half) according to the generally accepted one. In the existing temperament, the note “A” for the first octave corresponds to an oscillation with a frequency of 440 Hz, “A” for the second - 880 Hz, the third - 1760 Hz and so on. "La" of the forty-first octave is an oscillation with the frequency of the orange color of the spectrum. Similarly, the correspondence of color to other notes is determined.

Red - "F-sharp", "salt", "salt-sharp",
orange - "la",
yellow - "sharp",
green - "s", "do",
blue - "C sharp",
blue is re
violet - "re-sharp", "mi", "fa".

We have identified a match for color and sound. For other oscillations, the frequency of the accompanying oscillation of the nth octave we need (depending on which accompaniment we want - thermal, x-ray, visible, ultraviolet and others) is 2 ^n-1 times the frequency of the corresponding oscillation of the note of the first octave
ν _n = 2 ^nI ν ₁ ,
Where
n = ± 0, 1, 2, ...;
ν is the oscillation frequency;
n is the octave number.

 Accompanied oscillation is attributed to a specific tone (note) of the octave. The accompanying oscillation must be of the same tone (the same note) of the parallel octave we need.

 The invention involves the transition of accompanying vibrations from one parallel octave to another parallel. For example, the accompaniment of the first part of the symphony may be light, and the accompaniment of the second part of the symphony is thermal and other, i.e. the ratio of the frequencies of the accompanying vibration and the accompanied vibration remains constant for a certain period of time (and not always). Correspondence is the same: the note of the accompaniment - the same note of the accompanist - constantly.

 The melody will not change, no matter in what octave it is played. The melody, however, will not change if it is played from a different sound even if the tuning is equally tempered (the parallelism is preserved, but the proportionality coefficient will not be integer - close to Yuryev’s method). But at the same time, maintenance will not be clean.

 To prove the effectiveness of octave accompaniment, various methods of accompaniment of some oscillations to others were compared. In the first case, the melody of the famous song "Chizhik-fawn" was accompanied by the method of F. Yuryev, in the second they kept proportionality, in the third - both proportionality and octave correspondence (the claimed method). The most harmonious sound, pure sinusoidal sound was achieved in the third case (Fig. 3).

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:
FIG. 1 shows a frequency series, divided into octaves, which for clarity are conventionally presented in the form of a piano keyboard. The first octave with a frequency of "la ₁ " - 440 Hz and octaves of the spectrum is shown. The remaining octaves are implied and located in the same way;
figure 2 - the position of the octave of the spectrum on the stave;
FIG. 3 - comparison of different ways of tracking some vibrations with others.

 According to the invention, the method can be implemented in the form of creating devices that convert sound into color (the simplest example is coloring with a musical instrument key), heat into x-rays, etc. This will expand human capabilities. It becomes real to see dogs barking in color, to hear the melody of a heating battery or a bonfire flame. Starting from about the eighth octave, a person ceases to perceive sound, but dolphins or bats hear ultrasound perfectly. They will hear a melody that people will transmit to them using devices.

 The method will allow for the unambiguous exchange of information with animals, maybe with bacteria, viruses, plants.

 New opportunities are opening up in medicine, training and in other fields.
