    "​Color organ. An instrument for manipulating colors in a fashion analogous to that in which an organ manipulates sounds. The earliest instrument of this type, built in the first half of the 18th century, was Louis-Bertrand Castel's clavecin oculaire, in which depressing a key plucked a string and at the same time projected a color on a screen. The advent of electricity permitted the invention of much more sophisticated instruments. These included A. Wallace Remington's Color Organ (1895), Adrian Bernard Klein's Color Projector (1921), Thomas Wilfrid's Clavilux (1925), Alexander László's Color Piano (1925), and George Lawrence Hall's Musichrome (1930s). Most such instruments produced colors without sound, but they were often used in connection with music. Wilfrid and others, however, sought to develop a new and independent visual art by analogy with music. Scriabin's Prometheus: Poem of Fire (1910) specifies the use of a keyboard instrument (lt. tastiera per luce) for projecting colors. See also Color and music. "
