I saw this thread on futureproducers and thought I'd bring it here.

When I close my eyes and listen to a track, I see the fruity sequencer for the drums/percs and the synths in piano roll. Crazy, I obviously spend WAY too many hours producing... sometimes I even wake up in the morning with a fruity sequencer in my head. LOL

But what the post was about was basically if you see images when you listen to music. Especially trance.

When I smoke myself silly I can see colorful patterns in my brain that create twisting, aura-circled landscapes. Panning really makes the image bright, and condensed synths in certain frequency ranges and certain spacing of instruments makes it even more prominent.

Next time you smoke (or maybe you don't even need to), listen to Avalanche (Yahel Mix)... the song has created the most vivid visualizations I've ever experienced.

Most good Psytrance creates the same effects.

I know a few other people who also experience these images, and we've tried to figure out why, but can't.

Cheers.

I can tastes kick drums. But only if they sound sweet if that makes sense. Synysthesisiaisisiaiasia or something.

Synaesthesia is a harmless condition in which people experience perceptual sensations that are not shared by most other members of the population. People with synaesthesia may experience colours with letters, sounds, or words; they may experience shapes with tastes, or smells with sounds, to name a few varieties. It has a biological origin and is found in at least 1 in 2000 people.

COngratulations- you are a thrillseekers track

hmmm cant say i see images...but i definitely know what you mean by being able to see a track laid out channel by channel in FL...just goes to show how developed your ears have become for this type of music... I think one of the first ways to producing great music is being able to listen to a song, and dissect it in your head...

well i guess i sorta see images...if its an amazingly beautiful track with lush pads and awesome supersaw chords....i kinda feel like im flying in the clouds

When im high i always expirence music not only through hearing it but also visually...espacially dreamy chill or prog and banging psy.
making music while high is lots of fun...everything sounds so good...hehe...

In one of my dreams (about a month ago) i saw Nu-Nrg - Supersonik Way playing in a reason sequencer, it was very triangular.

Azza Robinson, I got the same thing. Though I'm more of a sober guy... ;D

I don't think it's Synaesthesia (it sounds cool to have ;D), but when I'm in the right mood and listen to music, I can see the different layers of the track. They take shape in cubes, circles. They change color, size, and what have you, when the vibe of the music changes, and so on.

I can also see a scenario take place when listening to tunes. That's how I name my tunes too. For Quintet of a Meadow, for example, I saw a Meadow in front of me. Trees a little here and there, green green grass all over the place. It's a sweet scene...

For every tune I produce I know what the music video would look like. What will happen in it etc. Sometimes I take it the other way around. I make up a scene, and then try to discribe it, through music.

Nice thread you've got here btw.
