I don't know about a stereoscopic colour organ, but in Huymans'
novel'Against Nature' the character Des Esseintes develops a 'mouth
organ'from an array of liqueur casks as
"each and every liqueur, in his opinion, corresponded in taste with the
sound of a particular instrument. Dry curacao, for instance, was like the
clarinet with its piercing, velvety note; kummel like the oboe with its
sonorous, nasal timbre; creme de menthe and anisette like the flute, at
once sweet and tart, soft and shrill.... thanks to an erudite
experiments, he had been able to perform upon his tongue silent melodies
and mute funeral marches; to hear inside his mouth creme-de-menthe solos
and rum-and-vespetro duets. He even succeeded in transferring specific
pieces of music to his palate, following the composer step by step,
rendering his intentions, his effects, his shade of expression, by mixing
or contrasting related liqueurs, by subtle approximations and cunning
combinations".
On refection such a 'mouth organ' might create a stereoscopic colour
organ as a side effect... perhaps I'll have a go.
