| That's strange; I never knew synthesasia was a biologically inherited trait. I thought everyone could experience. I can't listen to music without having some image to go with it. My mind usually attributes one colorful sensation to each instrument of a tune, and they all move around or do whatever in harmony. Wow that description actually doesn't come close to the real feeling.. it's a lot more than that. I didn't know I was 1 in 2000 and I'm having a hard time believing that. I'm sure anyone with an open mind can do just the same. |

i usually see my own version of a "winamp visualization" in my head.
i usually "feel" music more than i see it. expecially when an especially good trance or breaks track is playing and i'm anticipating my favorite parts of the track and when it hits, my spine and/or my whole body tingles and i'm totally lost in the moment and i just "let he beauty wash over me"...knowing full well it will be over soon, yet so thankful it's there....:gsmile::crazy:
i know i'm not alone with this... |

| I think of colours when I hear a song, but I don't see any images. What's interesting though is that I can hear a tune when I see a repetetive pattern. Take for example, that running dog on this post. I can hear a tone when his legs are up, then a lower pitch when he takes a step. |

Wow, that's cool... when I read that and looked at the dog, I understood exactly what you were talking about. |

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 |
you know, i googled synaesthesia, and come to find out what it meant , then i put taht in my sig awhile ago because i thought it was so innovative to name a track this...
+1 for the ppl who name their songs thoughtfuly! |

What a strange, strange thread...
guys, go easy on the drugs please. You think people who stand in a rice field all day and plow tons of it on a 15 hour working day go to bed and visualise wholegrain before they fall asleep?
All I know is that you should see music when you look at the cones of your speakers. Try it, it's a technique used for mastering. Waveforms are important too, and the dynamics of a compressor, actualy quite a lot, but nothing you need to close your eyes about...!
Actualy, come to think of it, when I listen to music I see pink elefants crawling up rainpipes with little roses between their toes. Then a spotty dragon, a piecefull, freandly dragon says 'hello' to the mailman who is just walking slowly over softly flowing hills. While Monica Lewinsky is lying on the ground in the featus position screaming 'I am a sick man! Help me! Get this profesional chess player off my back!'.
It's quite debilitating.

P.S. On a more serious note. I have seen many people completely f*cked up on drugs. People wobbling violantly on a dancefloor. Some guy diagnosed with schitsophrenia. And all that for something that isn't all that much fun. My advice would be to have a good time without drugs, or you won't be able to have a good time without prety quick. And believe me you won't see it coming, and it happens to the best of us. |

Ohhh.... We got ourselves a sceptic? Splendid!
For your information, I don't do drugs, nor will I ever. But I do visualize to the music I hear. Sometimes, when my mind drifts away completely, I can tell the tunes story. I kinda see the different elements as people, places, and so on. It's hard to explain, so I won't bother putting it to words. |

Glad you take your responsibility. Now that we've cleared that matter:
Personally I have no idea as to how someone can possibily think that drugs are a good thing. It usually goes like this:
"alcohol causes more accident than drugs those"
Well duh! How can that be? Maybe there are more people drinking alcohol than doing drugs?
But that's another topic entirely. |
