Timbre—The Color of Sound

Timbrethe distinguishable characteristics of a tone that make one sound different from another even if they have the same pitch and intensity.

 As the days become shorter and slide into winter
we become aware of a new palette of sounds
and take time to slow down and listen.


Vessel #54—Timbre                                      The Rollright Stones, Warwickshire, England


Winter solitude—in a world of one color—the sound of wind
                                                                        —Matsuo Basho, 1691
