Color organs existed way before they could respond to sound. This author of the article has no idea of the history of the color organ or what the term meant before he built a color organ. I would kind of be inclined to delete this article and write another one, but it requires references (and pictures) that I don't have easily available.

But seriously - a color organ article that doesn't mention Scriabin or Thomas Wildred's Clavilux is sincerely lacking.

I agree -- this article is ass. MusicMaker5376 02:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree also. I started correcting some gross errors, including the first para, but it really needs some serious work or a fresh start from scratch. C, May 28, 2006

To Twang - why did you remove the Hirshfeld-Mack reference? Also the Lumigraph did NOT play sound, I corrected that entry.

Can you provide a reference for this entry, that these lost films had a relation to color organ experimentation?: Italian Futurists Arnaldo Ginna and Bruno Corra experimented with "color organ" projection in 1909, painting some nine abstract films.

--- i would like to state that i think this entry represents a STARTING PLACE. Cleanup, yes... but Color Organs and Colour Music is an obscure subject that needs to be brought into a cohesive art form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.245.119.93 (talk) 20:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Don't redirect
This article should NOT be redirected to Clavier à lumières, and the previous contents should not have been moved without a discussion. Color organ refers to a whole class of devices. The article was bad?? so it needed work, not combining. If you want to get some idea of what color organ has meant in the past century, refer to the Visual music article. Follow the links there to get some scope of the number of people who worked on such devices ... it doesn't boil down to Scriabin alone. By the way, the "lumieres" article claims Scriabin as the inventor, which is twaddle ... goes to show how some of us are more interested in throwing our weight around than actually researching stuff.

How can Richard Wagner react to something 10 years after his death?
The article says. "In 1893, British painter Alexander Wallace Rimington invented the Clavier à lumières.[4][5][6] Rimington's Colour Organ attracted much attention, including that of Richard Wagner and Sir George Grove." Wagner died in 1883. Rimington invended his Clavier à lumiéres in 1893. Was Wagner a time traveller or a clairvoyant?
