I "coded" the colors I see when playing a set of songs on Spotify, and designed a correspondence between the colors and the music. I selected songs from my favorite songs, and then extracted the songs into colors according to certain associations to create a personal color profile and a specific personal color card for my music taste. Song lists might reveal information about a person's personality, hobbies, etc. So unintentionally publicizing song lists may open a hidden door to revealing privacy.
For the specific transformation method, I combine elements of style, tonality, emotion, chords, tempo and rhythm, etc., along with my personal "color associations" of the music to translate it into specific colors. Eventually, I ended up using these colors to make a film about self-decoding, in which I would use my daily recorded dreams as the narrative text, matching the dreams to the colors to assist in increasing the "decoding" effect of the film.
Film āSelf-decodingā The film constantly loops the colors from my personal color card and uses that as the main line of the film, and I use my recorded dreams as the narrative, match the emotions of the dreams to the relevant colors. The soundtrack is color-related music that I played and recorded myself. The movie demonstrates the high connection between music information and personal privacy.
