Were it possible to portray music in hues, white would offer us the most generally applicable coloration. Like no other color, white enables us to visualize the very aesthetical idea, which contemporary composers of the last decennia have explored: the dissolution of the distinction between sound and silence. Thus we can regard many contemporary compositions to be acoustical representations of what Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) described as the relationship of White and Silence, in his poetics The Spiritual in Art (1910): “When considering White more closely, which is often seen as a non-color […] it appears to be a symbol of a world, where material properties and substances have disappeared altogether. Such a world is high above us, so we do not perceive its sound. Thence a great Silence comes towards us, resembling a cold and endless wall, indestructible and impassable. White therefore affects our psyche as a great Silence that is absolute. We perceive it as a non-sound, very much like a pause in the middle of a musical piece; the pause that temporarily halts the development of a certain piece or content, not being the conclusion of a certain development. This is a Silence which is not dead, but full of possibilities. White resonates like a silence that can suddenly be understood. It is a youthful nothingness, or more precisely: a void that exists before the beginning, before birth.”
