stevebasshead Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm very jealous! I'm off to lick someone with synthesisia to see if I can catch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaver Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 [quote name='paul h' post='749176' date='Feb 18 2010, 12:26 AM']I can "taste" food.[/quote] Having no sense of smell I can barely do that. I'd always hoped that there would be compensation elsewhere but I'm short-sighted and long-sighted and have a terrible ear. Is there any evidence that synaesthesia can be learnt or developed by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazathemonster Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've not even heard of synesthesia until now.. that's really interesting. I don't really visualize anything whilst playing, my mind is blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4L666 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I think of music as hand shapes- everything I play relates to a guitar-like instrument in my head. So I'm sitting there working out theory on piano and hitting invisible chords. Some music, when combined with meditation, can give me a stoned feeling, which is pretty badass.

About seeing notes as colours is anyone watching the latest series of Heros on BBC? There is a new deaf character who can see notes as colours.

karlthebassist Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 [quote name='arthurhenry' post='748297' date='Feb 17 2010, 12:23 PM']Do you see notes as colours? I've spoken to other musicians who do and some who don't have a clue what I'm on about! For me: E is yellow F Grey F# Sandy G Green G# Greeny turquoise A Browny red A# Dark grey B Blue C Green C# Bluey turquoise D Red D# ?[/quote] That is the most amazing thing I have ever heard! What happens with D# then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used colours, I remember F# was green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
