=====

"Synesthesia [...] is a neurologically based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

According to Richard Cytowic, Sound to Color synesthesia is "something like fireworks": voice, music, and assorted environmental sounds such as clattering dishes or dog barks trigger color and firework shapes that arise, move around, and then fade when the sound ends. For some, the stimulus type is limited (e.g., music only, or even just a specific musical key); for others, a wide variety of sounds triggers synesthesia.

Sound often changes the perceived hue, brightness, scintillation, and directional movement. Some individuals see music on a "screen" in front of their face. [...] Individuals rarely agree on what color a given sound is (composers Liszt and Rimsky-Korsakov famously disagreed on the colors of music keys); however, synesthetes show the same trends as non-synesthetes do. For example, both groups say that loud tones are brighter than soft tones, and that lower tones are darker than higher tones."

I discovered recently this year that I have Sound to Color synesthesia, but it's very minor

I found out when I was at a concert/night club and "felt" that the colors of the light show weren't matching to the music. When listening to music in the car or with headphones on, I can "see" colors flashing/moving in the back of my head like a built-in visualizer and sometimes "taste" sounds, but it doesn't impair me from whatever I'm doing at the moment. It's really difficult to explain, so here's a drawing

I love that book, it really makes it known in an informative way. Plus, the way it's written with the notes at the bottom of the pages is awesome.

omg I have that!

i just love this

i have synesthesia too

i see colours in music a bit but especially letters of the alphabet!
if you look at work from when i was just a child, my letters are all coloured in in weird and random hues, but it made sense to me because they were the colours i believed the letters to be! It frustrated me when other people coloured the letters in the 'wrong' colours hahaha

That is really awesome! I have synesthesia as well!

I have touch to colour and numbers to patterns. When I get overwhelmed, I often see colours. The emotions around me flood the room with colours.

THIS IS AWESOME! I have something similar. Musical Synesthesia, or in other words, I see music. Other sounds can trigger it too, but music is the biggest thing for me. I love meeting another synesthesiac.

Such a cool picture!

~xPinkScissorsx Apr 9, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Seems like most creative people would have synesthesia, because my friend and I have mentioned to each other how we can't draw with music playing because it completely changes the outcome of our pictures. Like if I was listening to some bubble gum pop stuff I'd want to draw something super happy and bright, but say by the time I finished the drawing I was listening to death metal so the picture changed completely to something dark and grungy, same with writing too. Hope that makes sense ^_^;
