Prelude in C — Cascade Edition (Digital + Listening Guide)
Portrait orientation · Instant high-resolution digital download · Includes Visual Listening Guide
Hang Bach on your wall, and listen along as you look.
Prelude in C is a note-by-note translation of Bach's opening prelude from The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 846) into colour. Every band you see is a single note. Every width is its duration. Every gradation of tone is its octave.
First created in 2020, the piece was shown at The Shard in London, featured in Estila magazine for interior designers, and exhibited at the R Young Gallery in Woking. The large-format version sold after just a few weeks on the walls of The Town Hall Hotel in London.
This is the Cascade Edition, designed for portrait display. The music begins at the top and pours downwards, bar by bar, to its final chord.
Put the music on and let your eye travel down the artwork as it plays. The colours are layered, so notes blend as they sound, and the Visual Listening Guide explains the cipher and logic behind it, so you can learn to read the music in colour.
Your download includes:
Prelude in C, Cascade Edition (PNG, 300 DPI, A2 ready — also prints beautifully at A3 and A4)
A seven-page Visual Listening Guide — explaining the colour language, the rhythm system, and how to follow the artwork bar by bar as the music plays
