Interesting
that you should hear red as something so soothing yet on the edge. Most people would hear red as violent like blood, or hot like passion.

As I listen again, I guess there is some passion beneath the color here though.

Thoughtful piece ... well done ... No wait a minute well done would not be red would it? Rare would be red ... Thoughtful piece well interpreted and performed ... that's what I mean.

Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

.
I went at this from a different angle. Rather than the psychological meanings of colors, I was considering first the energy level in each photon of a given wavelength.

The violet end of the visible spectrum has the highest energy photons. I used high frequency sounds, such as bells, as the primary sounds. As the pieces descend down the spectrum, the low end takes on more and more of the primary role in each piece. It's not perfect: I sacrificed that general plan due to musical considerations as each piece came into focus.

Red has the lowest frequency and least energetic photons.

thanks
