Who see's colours and patterns when they Make Music or listen to Music?

Some people get colours in there head and patterns its strange to exsplane but some people do(i do...)

Like now... I am listening to 'DJ RAFF from Macarbe Unit'. A set where he is playing endless Macarbe Unit Dubs and i am seeing patterns and colours its strange its MAD !!!!

I did notice when i had really bad writers block i did not see these colours or patterns. But when i over come the block they came back.....VERY STRANGE

rhythm's are patterns, frequencies and harmonics are colours.

Music, Colors, Endorphins,....its all a system of numbers working in time with each other. I don't hallucinate as much as I did when was younger, of course I haven't done psychedelics inna long time....those doors can only stay open for so long.

Deff man, this happens to me all of the time when I'm playin out or at home, it's really how I put together set's for the most part...Mainly it's the use of sound's within the track that trigger the colors for me, not like I see colors flyin around like some lsd trip, but it makes me think of it.

all about the colors!!

i don't hallucinate them or anything but always equate electronic music with superstructures / geometry

i dont 'see' colours with music, more 'feel' them. it's hard to explain, but moods have a definite spectral component. sad mournful tunes like burial's material are a lush deep purple, sinodub tunes like kode 9's 'subkon/fukkaz' are lush yellow or orange, whereas gnarly dark tunes like coki's 'haunted' are black or grey.

When I write music it often triggers visions of scenery, objects, characters, fictional events and personal experiences. My track titles are often a description of, or reference to what the track makes me see.

When I wrote "The Black Forest", it triggered imagery of walking along a path in a forest, a beautiful eerie place where the trees are somehow illuminated despite existing in a void of blackness.

But I think there is a simple explanation for this. It's called imagination.

I have eben reading up on this on the net. Alot of producers get this.

Kayne West painted one of his tunes, He pained what he was seeing and feeling(the shapes / patterns / waves and colours)

Its true mate. Alot of people see waves / patterns and sometimes colours in there mind when they listen or make music. Its hard to write how it is....When i see you on saturday i will 'try' and exsplane it to you.

i dont think everyones saying theyre actually seeing colours like theyre seeing their own hand infront of them, but its more like having a sense of colours or shapes which sum up the mood and vibe of the tune.

that might creep into your sight a bit especially if you've been smokin funk, but it the case of synesthesia youre brain is actually triggering colours into your field of vision
