no zeus...this is a neurological fuckup only a few people get which, say, if i saw a certain shape i'd get the taste of copper in in my mouth...unimagined.
i saw a thing where this girl would listen to classical music and actually see blobs of light ..to such and extent that it would block her view of the real world. Go to hit her and she wouldn't flinch.

I seem to recall it was the reason behind all the Calx's...Blue Calx, Yellow Calx etc.. named after the colours he sees...

Delphium tasted a lot like cherry to me, but it was like a fake cherry taste like popping a cherry cough drop into my mouth. Each synth physically felt like one in my head, it was even sort of rectangular. The 808 cowbells with the delay were sort of sour-like, like a little bite to it.
I'm curious actually... I tried to make an Orange Calx a while back but I think it ended up being like orange the fruit and not orange the color... what do you guys think?

Sorry, I couldn't mix for sh*t back then.

i have this condition. i can see sounds/pitches as colors. [B/Bb = red. C = orange. D = blue. E/Eb = green. etc...] what is weird is that i don't have 'perfect pitch' [though i have a finely tuned 'relative pitch'] when i try to isolate pitches as absolutes. however, when i have been tested by teachers who told me to focus just on the colors, i had a 90% accuracy in determining pitch/key [for some reason, my synesthesia is more accurate when determing the overall key rather than a specific pitch].

A friend of mine tasted the colour blue tripping on nitrous. I asked him what it tasted like. Blueberries? Blue Gatorate? He said no, that it simply tasted like the colour blue!

that's very interesting. I've never spoken directly with anyone who has it.
Scriabin reported to have it, and some of his last pieces are 'multimedia' (see the original instrumentation for the poem of fire--it's not meant to be exactly a piano..)

That's intense! do all digits receive a different color? or is there some tendency to it? it's like your visual processing is doing classification for you!
Also, if letter *actually* have different colors, and the background is changing to, is it very difficult to read?

To me it's not difficult because it isnt' as strong as some of the cases on that wiki page, my brain just associates each letter with a color even though I know what colors the text is printed on.

Overall I get the condition of perceiving and mixing of senses randomly when I'm in the mood or tired. It's pretty interesting overall.
When speaking of permanent effect, I associate time lines, numbers, letters etc with graphical systematic structures in my head. Not strictly colors, but just visual systems. Makes it much easier to remember things.

That would be pretty cool if I had that. I wonder how many things sound like even when they don't really have a sound haha. Do you taste certain things too? Speaking of "I'm Self Employed" again for example, it was a bitter-sour track.

yes, i have'nt really mapped everything out yet but its somehow connected to an impossible shape i see when i'm really tired and close my eyes. i can feel it, see it, hear it and taste it. its always been like that.

This is different than associating certain sounds with colors. Its an actual experience, right?

Ok, I tried out doing something I've been meaning to do for a while now - studying a picture and trying to make a musical interpretation of it. I came up with a little something, I mean it's really simplistic but it's still such a good approximation of what was in my head. :)
So it's kind of SAW II style - the 'title' is the image, which happens to be this one:
http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4942/1623/1600/660659/ IMG_2256.jpg
And the music track:
http://www.zshare.net/audio/sawiiitrack-mp3-p2x.html
I should build on this idea but I'm way too busy with finals.

a friend of mine, whilst tripping on mushrooms, came out of a taqueria bathroom after having been lost in there for about 15 minutes and said, "dude, that room just stank of pink."

That's amazing really! Good job, I like the sound and it's association to the image, but I think that it's too dark to actually 100% FIT into the image. Now if the building was abandoned and Chernobyl-styled, you know, then it would fit VERY well. It just doesn't have that dark enough atmosphere, but rather civilized light one.

You got the water and reflections part right though.
Both posts refer to how I would interpret the image -> sound of course. Different for everyone. :D
