…then put the image you create in your mind to words. Here is an example for Blue Clax Standing on strange ground. There is no atmosphere to obstruct my view. Constellations whirl by giving form to the blackness of space all around. In front of me an old sun rises. A pinprick on its shell marks a rock once called home. Behind me, a swirl of color. A ceaseless churning of hellish red. Now you try. |

I tend to give each sound an isolated visual represenation within my mind, and then watch the shapes interact in real time... A kick is usually spherical, hi hats patterns usually come together in sort of a "_-__-_-" sort of shape, etc. It's difficult to explain. It's actually amazing how it can unfold in my head with no noticeble delay whatsoever from the music. I never get this big soundscape sort of thing. Like a beach or a sunset. It's always the individual sounds. It's possible my brain interprets music this way because of all the LSD and mushrooms I used to take. |

I create scenarios with music. A story based on the emontional content of the song. I hardly visualize abstract ideas like shapes and such. jkd - Uh, how can I help? |

And it's hard to get any mental image from rhythmic patterns alone like percussion. There has to be some notes involved. |

Yeah, it's not something I have to "try" to do, it's very automatic, and very difficult to put into words. I'm listening to Autechre- Surripere at the moment and watching it in my head at the same time, the music is so detailed that I cannot imagine just hearing it and imagining a train or something... how could you keep up with every bit of detail? Every off beat and misfire, every little slice of sound and mutation is translated exactly in my head at with seemingly no delay. It's just how I hear music, I couldnt turn it off even if I wanted to. |

are you really a lesbian? |

Silly. I'm never going to post my picture. Nice try though. I find it amazing how much men are scared of a female that speaks with force or in a "non-feminine" manner. Living in the Mid West sucks because there is such a strong idea about traditional gender roles here. I find that if you're a gay man you must be overly feminine and "faggish", and if you're a lesbian you must have a mullet and look like a dude. Not that you're out of the clear if you follow that sort of imposed ideology. It just makes it easier for the straights to identify you as to avoid and redicule you. But if you're feminine and speak with authority and "like a man" (not timbre wise necessarily), you get the brunt of hate. ...but yeah, I'm a lesbian. |

Whenever I am able to visualize music, it usually involves me floating down dark hallways with different color shapes/sheets passing by. Hallways in my mind, mang! |

There exists maybe 3 types of music for me. One type is the one where I do like Wolfslice does, where I just follow the melody, rhythms, and other stuff in a precise way and could I say "musical manner" (Rhythm and melody is fusioned together and creates "the song" aka the song im listening to), then there's the music that may not have all that much "musical content" in the traditional sense, but is more geared towards giving associations (something i dont get as much with "musical" songs.) Then there's all the other songs that just dont do it for me. My own music has been focused towards the more musical side for a long time, but I have created some to create associations. (btw not saying these two are separate) A good example of an ambient track that has a very strong musical side, but also a very strong association side, is brian eno - an ending (ascent), and also vletrmx by autechre which has a highly original melody playing imo. With time, music also gains in the association department, when a certain style becomes associated with something, like old tracks from the 40's on vinyl can be spooky or cozy, depending on the context. I dunno did I go off topic? |

ahir by bad sector makes me imagine this being emerging from a blackhole. and to come out of it, whereever it was, it went through such stages of inner hell, such sick primal journeys into itself, so that once it begins emerging, it begins to reform into some sort of a god, through agonizing screams as it's body is being torn and reconstructed into perfection. |

Imagery is good. Autechre- Chiastic Slide and Valentin Silvestrov- Requiem for Larissa stand out for me. The former being your standard issue abandoned, rusted out, dilapidated mechanical city, been covered many times before. The latter being a giant portal opening up over my house, sometimes revealing some sort of inky black hell or limbo, and sometimes closing and reopening to a really pale meadow. |
