Scriabin, particularly, invented a colour keyboard to attempt to relate notes and keys to particular colours. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-arts/2008/05/13/music-review-asa-heart-liverpool-philharmonic-hall-64375-20902130/ Tue, 13 May 2008 11:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-arts/2008/05/13/music-review-asa-heart-liverpool-philharmonic-hall-64375-20902130/ IT WASN’T the birth of the blues, but a case of a star is born. And it all happened within moments of Asa Heart stepping onto on stage at the Philharmonic Hall. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-arts/2008/05/12/music-review-bandstand-carling-academy-64375-20894520/ Mon, 12 May 2008 11:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-arts/2008/05/12/music-review-bandstand-carling-academy-64375-20894520/ Incredibly, that was my reaction when I walked into Bandstand on Saturday night, the venue having been turned into a dance paradise for one night only.
