-- Trance = Colours?
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

Marcel Woods vs. Jesselyn - Fauna = dark red.

I tend to just... y'know... listen to the music and not worry about colors

Almost all of Armin's tracks remind me of PURPLE. (especially Burned w/ Desire)

But some songs that remind me of colors are:
Tranquility Base - Surrender --> Blue
Way Out West - Killa --> Red/Orange
Ridgewalkers feat. El - Find (Andy Moor Remix) --> Different tones of blue

and... Sophie Sugar - Call of Tomorrow (John O'Callaghan Remix) I just picture this..

Originally posted by Project 7 I was thinking the other week, that certain tunage sets colours... Its fuckin weird, take for example Insigma - Open Your Eyes this track always seems Red (check out the sig for the others), it only happens with tunes i listen alot. Maybe im just going insane, cause it feels like it

wow, this is a regurgitation from the past. I remember posting in the elder thread version a few times back in vietnam 62.

It's like when you hear someone vomit, you instantly think of yellow vile.






Or I suppose when you hear someone do a poo, you think of brown. Trance is the same.

nice pic mari! nice choice!
but hey you are such a newbie!

Me too?

funny topic,
I also found out I had this weird 6th sense when I saw a TV doco about it. I thought I was the only one who had these colourful thoughts. Mine are more stronger with numbers. i.e., numbers always give off a strong colour to me. Green is very common for most numbers.

I don't really associate music with colors. However, I have an odd habit of visualizing pieces of the tune. I can see shapes of synths, kicks, and percs. Some synths, like those used in Probspot's earlier tunes for example, look kinda round to me. Other synths, like in Sam Sharp - Twister (RVDB Remix) look sharp and violent, almost.

I easily fall in synaesthesya... there are some psytrance sites talkin about this:

Mauro Picotto - Dark room = Black
Thrillseekers - Synaesthesya = red
Insigma - Open your eyes = orange/red
Tiesto - Suburban train = red
Vairous of Solar Stone = green
Sasha - Airdrawndagger album = lots of yellow
Most Airwave = some metalic colours like grey.
M.I.K.E. = the same above.
Most ATB tracks = blue...

Ralphie B - Massive = Red lights

Veracocha - Carte Blanche = White, blue and green sparkles

Delerium - Silence (Tiesto) = Red waves/clouds

Andain - Beautiful Things = Semi-long distance shot of a car travelling through the countryside in the late afternoon

KvA - Made of Sun (Hard Dub) = Various blue and green lasers

Signum - Coming on Strong = Red sparkles

Westbam vs Red Jerry - Wizards of the Sonic (Matt Darey) = Flying over a 3d-generated type landscape cycling through reds/blues/yellows

Envio - Touched by the Sun (Airbase) = Green lights and lasers

Although the definition of synaesthesia is very specific, pseudosynaesthesia is seen frequently. Pseudosynaesthesia can occur unintentionally, as with drug use or learned associations, or intentionally, as in much literature, music, and art. Drug Use Drug use is one of the most common causes of pseudosynaesthesia. Hashish has been the most frequently mentioned substance in the past, due to the large number of writers who are known to have used it and commented on its vivid effects. These writers spoke frequently of hearing and/or smelling colors, seeing sounds, and even seeing feelings during their hashish intoxication. More recently, mescaline has been shown to produce extremely vivid pseudosynaesthetic experiences. Peyote (related to mescaline), which is sacred to many Native American tribes and is often used in their spiritual ceremonies, has very similar effects. With both peyote and mescaline, the pseudosynaesthesia produced is most frequently of the visual/hearing type.

Originally posted by me in another thread on 21/10/04 Interesting topic. I also get this feeling, but I have known people who just don't get it at all and some who get it, but get completely different visions of myself. Beat Foundation - Foundations II - Green (Like a lush green landscape) Shango - Tunnelvision - Dark grey from the Acid 303 but light green in the piano. Graemel - Spiritual Sky - Dark grey again from the Acid 303 and gold from the guitar, kinda like the feeling of a stormy sunset. Digital Blondes - Antheum - Light silver, which is the kind of feeling I get from more synthy tracks usually.

supersaws are red/orange

Thriseekers - Synaesthesia - blue
Orbital tracks - blue and black
MIKE tracks - black and grey
PvD tracks - brown
Sasha tracks - Sky blue




....

Lots of it (if you own the record) has to do with the sleeve/color of vinyl/label on the vinyl. Seriously.

Soundwise, I always think of saw waves as orange, no idea why. And although no specific colors are used to differentiate between pads, it is an offical term to say "that pad's color is nice." The harmonics, etc.

With Adam white - Ballerina i get a greyish colour due to the ballerina on the label.

and probspot - blueberry because of it being on the coldharbour selections i get a blackish blueish colour.

I see skid marks & bleeding orifices in my mind when I hear boot scoot.

Not exactly a song but whenever I hear Carl Cox play anything I just see light blue and glowing white. It's just one long audio orgasm.

To me, Uplifting Trance always seems Blue or Light Blue =]

Thw wiggles are pink & yellow & green.

Strongest one for me is Salt Tank - Eugina which makes me think of orange.

I often more like give colors to certain parts of the track, for example the bassline is often brown or grey. Pads are all mothed out and often blue or green. Leads can be pretty much any color.

Prog tracks are often pretty brown hehe. And cheese is often yellow. But good stuff can be yellow too.
In Tilt - The World Doesn't Know the bass is lika a crawling grey thing with a tint of yellow and with spikes on it, and the blip-blop sounds "above" is like... green? Hmm.
Whiteroom - The White Room is a purple track, but the lead is kinda white. Adam White - Halcyon has a green vocal.

Also I think that Sprite tastes like unfiltered supersaw. Anybody else?

I doubt all these examples are synaesthesia - it's a very rare condition, only present in 1 of 500.000 people.
Associating feelings/memories from certain parts of the brain with sensations from other parts is more usual, and is probably what most people've experienced.
