Clockface, Pitch to Colour, and Spiral
This diagram has been developed from John Harrison's clockface
diagram , on the only page found from his missing
manuscript. The colours have been selected on the basis of frequency
to wavelength as described in the colours
chapter of Pitch,
Pi, ....... . The length of the lines from the centre of the pattern
for each note represent the position of each note along the spiral
of fourths and fifths. If an expanding spiral line were to be drawn
joining all the notenames in sequence of fifths from Gbb through to D##
(Dx), the resultant pattern would produce the shape described in the recipe
instructions for a physical model of LucyTuning, of a conical spiral
as viewed from one end.
