Named after abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky, The Wassiliscope captures and analyzes the frequency of incoming light waves which are converted to their corresponding audible frequency. 

Audio output is then sent through a triangle wave oscillator and out to the headphones in real time allowing you to listen to color.
