Is a cNOTE an appropriate gift for a wedding, anniversary, birthday or other important occasion?
Yes. A song reminds us of a time in our lives, a person we’ve known or a place we’ve been. A song brings back a memory. A cNOTE is an embodiment of that memory. A cNote is the perfect gift for the person who has everything.
Can I Preview My Custom cNote Before it Is Printed?
You will receive a proof of your Custom cNote via email. If you are not 100% satisfied with your custom cNote proof, I will return ALL of your money. Once you approve your proof, it is printed using the finest materials and techniques in the industry and shipped to you. Finished cNotes are not refundable and cannot be exchanged. It is custom art.
How long will it take before I receive my cNOTE? (Shipping)
It normally takes fewer than 10 days for cNote the (100) Series and 10-15 business days for the Museum and Fine Art Series, depending on how long it takes for the client to approve the custom cNote proof. Please understand that custom cNOTEs are made to order. It is a custom product.

What is the difference between the Museum Quality Limited Edition Series and the Fine Art Collector’s Edition? The Fine Art Collector’s Edition is printed on premium fine art paper using high quality commercial inks via time tested printing processes. The Museum Quality Limited Edition Series uses the best available printing method to achieve the desired cNOTE aesthetic. The Museum Series has a Floating Gallery Frame and is limited in quantity.
Why do you print instead of painting cNOTEs? They look better and they are a more accurate representation of my synesthetic experience. I only use the finest papers and inks in our products. I choose the appropriate printing process based on the type of print (Fine Art or Museum Quality) and the specific song characteristics.
What is the “Rectangle Method?” In the Rectangle Method, color represents pitch (below) and rectangle width represents note duration. For instance, a whole note is a perfect square. It is twice as wide as a half note, which is twice as wide as a quarter note, which is twice as wide as an eighth note, etc.
What color represents each note? Scientists equated audible frequencies (hertz) with color wavelength (nanometers/angstroms). There are 21 different colors used in cNOTEs because there are 21 different notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G plus each note’s respective sharp and flat. A “C” note is Green, a “D” note is Blue, an “E” note is violet, etc. The notes move around the key circle just as colors change around the color wheel.
Color corresponds mathematically to electromagnetic wavelength. Pitch corresponds to frequency, to which the wavelength is inversely proportional. The rainbow spectrum is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. The visible frequencies of this spectrum are between 1014 & 1015 Hertz.
Wavelengths of visible light are between .1 and .8 microns. Guy Murchie, in Music Of The Spheres, states that invisible ultra-violet has a wavelength of 3,700 angstroms and invisible infra-red’s wavelength is 7,400 angstroms. This doubling of wavelength suggests an octave. According to Van Nostrano's Encyclopedia, spectrometer tests resulted in the following human perception of color:
Audible frequencies are from 20 Hz. to 25,000 Hz. The pitch/color connection: The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second. Color wavelength can be expressed in meters, specifically Nanometres /Angstroms. Here, 299,792,458 meters is equivalent to a number of wavelengths, which may be determined by dividing 299,792,458 by the distance in meters of one wavelength. Frequency = meters traveled by light per second divided by the wavelength of specific color. For example, 5800 Angstroms (Yellow) Frequency = 299,792,458 / 0.000,000,58 = 516,883,530,000,000 Hz. Moreover, octaves are a result of the doubling or halving of frequency. Thus, frequency can be reduced to a precise audible value by cumulative halving.

Why Are Some of the Notes/Rectangles White in the Middle?
In the color chart above, the notes E# and F are “invisible violet” and “invisible red,” respectively. cNote interprets these notes by outlining the rectangle in the specified color and leaving the center white.
Can I order my cNOTE in other colors? No. cNOTEs are art. Like science, math or religion, art is a search for the truth. I believe that using the scientifically equated music-note balance is the best means to achieve that goal. Moreover, I find that the songs that people like to listen to the most, look the best to them. It is remarkable how a cNOTE appeals to an individual’s musical taste. If you really like a song, you should really like its cNOTE.
Are cNOTEs limited to colors and rectangles to represent musical notes? No. I can assign anything to signify the two axis (pitch and duration) of a musical note. Our intellectual property describes cNOTEs in terms of a new language. Music can be displayed using any combination of shapes, sizes, colors, materials, objects, etc. Nonetheless, I only use the Rectangle Method because it is the most accurate representation of the synesthetic experience.
