“Sad” is a tone of voice based on the intercorrelation of color, feeling, sound and texture. Culture and colors: This specific tone of voice is based on the association of words that “Western-American culture” connects to the color blue.

THE ICON

The pattern comes from the association of the color blue with water, following the symmetrical square grid. The composition is based on two triangles side by side facing down to the right corner. This position emphasizes a low, unenergetic, sad feeling. The three dots aligned work as pauses between the triangles (waves) to guide the finger movement. 

THE SOUND

This 50-second melody starts with the note F, also known as Fa, which is based on the Scriabin’s key-color relationship with a frequency of 21.83 Hz. Followed by a melody that evokes a sad feeling.
