looks like a very powerful tool for artists to start pushing boundaries in the visual area as well as audio.

what is it with music and visuals? most people i meet that create some form of electronic music are seriously into the visual arts. i know numerous people from the board that are into it, berkovi produces graphics for websites etc, landstrumm runs a really sucessful graphics firm working with companies as big as rockstar games.

y is this? are the visual and audible parts of our brains linked in some way?

y is this? are the visual and audible parts of our brains linked in some way?

sure, makes sense doesn't it? it's easy to think about sound in terms of shape (suggests a theme or feeling), size (volume), color (intensity), depth, etc.. i have a friend who is primarily a graphic designer who always talks about his muisc as if it's a visual entity. there's that clip speedy j once included in his music, him talking about the music as shape and movement. sounds to me very often have an immediate suggestion of shape or dimensionalness... etc etc.

we have done a small project on seeing sound. sound as visuals. there is a brain disorder that when someone hears a certain sound they see shapes and colours. there is also a disorder similar that whn you hear certain sounds and words, you get a taste.

on the programme i watched this man said the word sausages tasted like vomit :lol:

syn-es-the-sia n. Physiol. Sensation produced at a point other than
or remote from the point of stimulation, as of a color from hearing a
certain sound (fr. Gk, syn = together + aisthesis = to perceive).


Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information of one sense is accompanied by a perception in another sense. In addition to being involuntary, this additional perception is regarded by the synesthete as real, often outside the body, instead of imagined in the mind's eye. It also has some other interesting features that clearly separate it from artistic fancy or purple prose. Its reality and vividness are what make synesthesia so interesting in its violation of conventional perception. Synesthesia is also fascinating because logically it should not be a product of the human brain, where the evolutionary trend has been for increasing separation of function anatomically.
R. Cytowic, "Synesthesia: A Union of the Senses" Springer-Verlag, NY (p.1)


This site provides information about the neurological condition called synesthesia. We hope to give viewers a sense of different synesthetes' personal perceptual abilities. Equally important, however, is the idea that a creative person can also use his/her unique synesthetic abilities to make a living and bring significant contributions to the world. Such talents as utilized by artists and other creative individuals are highlighted within. Because there are different forms of synesthesia, many links between the senses, we have also linked this page to others which communicate the synesthetic experience in different ways
