Ha. I'm left handed, and I was just reading up on it. Apparently, for thousands of years I'd have been taken as unlucky/evil/a magician. However, apparently I'm also smarter and more creative and also good in a fight due to the surprise element.
EDIT: Also, I'm more likely to be a paedophile. Hmmm.

Yeah, in school they would sometimes break the left hands of left-handed kids to force them to learn writing with their right hand - or they'd just completely kick them out of school.

Adagio For Strings (F Corsten remix) = Darker Gold
The Thrillseekers pres Hydra - Affinity = Darker Blue with a hint of Purple

Yup.
But tracks aren't a solid color... every instrument in the track has a specific location depending on its placement in the stereofield and depth, and a specific color and speed of movement.
In Yahel - Avalanche (Yahel Remix), I get this brilliant blue-white flash of lightning through the center of my vision that is the main "talking robot" lead, the bass is black, the hihats are white/yellow/orange out to the sides, and the FX... wow, the FX just crash my brain. Things like sweeps and rises and fills all make brilliant types of fading collisions of color and shape, it's pretty wild.
Good thread. =)
btw - i close my eyes and relax for this to happen, and i have to do it for the whole song.

people need to understand they're not that special
Synaesthesia is also triggered by certain drugs; not any man-made drugs, though.
It would be pretty cool if they discovered a pill that gave temporary synesthesia for the duration of the pill's half-life.
Why couldn't they? They've found shit that gives temporary schizophrenia, I'm sure they could find something more useful!
