weird. is that even when he’s not listening to music? what’s his name? is there any information online i could read about this?
i’ve heard of synesthesia before, i read a news article about it a while back. but i wanted to know the particular story of this composer
I heard it from one of his friends… maybe he doesn t want that everybody knows so i won t say his name.
Different taste for every sounds!!! WOOOOOOW!! I m sure that my music tastes fried cabbage or bloody chicken 
Aphex Twin supposedly has Synesthesia actually… as do quite a few music producers.
Interesting read on wikipedia. Wish I had it …
On a sidenote, alot of research on this was done by Simon Baron-Cohen, cousin of Sacha Baron-Cohen=Ali G=Borat. It’s a small world.
When I hear sound with my eyes closed i see pretty vivid colors moving around in random patterns. And, whenever I play drums, I tend to see square shapes, like a bar graph, that line up with the patterns I’m playing. I’m not sure if this is synesthesia, but it’s pretty neat.
not really… it’s in their DNA to be brilliant so it’s no wonder they’re both influential 
btw… whenever i close my eyes, i see nothing 
I see flickering lights when I close my eyes. Faint/Far away/Blurred, but definately not Blackness. (even when the lights are out)
Links to the source of the first post?
e: posting without thinking
i think the eyes were meant to fool us into thinking upside down.
don’t have one of the full article, it was posted on my hospital’s intranet, but i did find a blurb in the Nytimes although the article is much shorter in length…
one form of synesthesia i experience is known as ordinal linguistic personification (OLP). which is feeling an identity is somehow represented by a sequence of symbols. personifying say, the numeric value on a lp filter as “slightly angry and moving forward” or “a nice young girl wearing yellow”
anyone else experience this?
So true!
Yeah, for me it is more associating emotions, movement, direction, and shape with sounds and colors than things like people though.
I used to have this sensation when I was younger occasionally mostly when I was falling asleep that my limbs were changing sizes independently of one and other… my arms would feel huge, and my skull would feel tiny… and it would undulate like it was LFO’d 
… freaky shit I tell you
Weird, have you ever figured out if there was some physiological element to it or if it was just some weird growing pain?
oh I know it was psychological… it wasn’t a physical sensation at all… I figure now that it probably had a link to my anxiety issues… but I could be wrong 
i don’t get this feeling, but everything is associated with directions/geographical orientation with me, so a particular song might feel “north” and another one “south”
he’s also meant to have a tank and a submarine. im pretty sure he made it it up. but yeah there are some relly interesting mental ‘disorders’ out there, some of them bordering on being ‘powers’. there is this guy who reads like Johnny 5 out of Short Circuit, and he retains 98% of it!?>@@"?!
