This painting explores the harmony of the G7b9 chord through the interplay of colors: red-orange (G), yellow-green (B), orange (D), red-purple (F), and blue (Ab). By translating musical notes into visual elements, the artist bridges sound and sight, creating a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of G7b9. The geometric shapes and layered colors symbolize the structured yet expressive nature of musical harmony, offering a visual representation of auditory beauty.

This piece is part of the synesthetic collection where the artist maps colors to the circle of fifths, merging the sensory experiences of color and music. The combination of colors and forms in this artwork invites viewers to experience the chord’s complexity and richness visually.

Examples of famous musical pieces composed in G7b9 include various jazz standards and classical compositions, highlighting the chord’s versatility and emotional depth.
