it's called Synesthesia
Doesn't happen to me. I kind of get a picture when I hear music but it's just some subconscious thing.

No I don't but I saw a show on TV talking about this. There were several people that experienced this and they all came together at like a convention to talk about it. A study on this was published about a week ago in the BMC Neuroscience journal. I think it would scare the ish out me if I started seeing colors with sound.

A backwards poet writes inverse.
No it is very rare, but famous engineer Bruce Swedien has it. Interesting stuff.

Just try not to feel too special over it.. having Synesthesia (or pretending to have it) is a good way to put urself on the ego train
What i'm saying is.. good way to get a musical superiority complex/feeling of magical purpose LOL.. unless it helps you make music, ur just seeing visuals which is kind of retarded. I think if you are seeing musical colours, then you should go research what's happening, try develop/maybe it can be used for something.

Nah never that, im a fairly concious guy...my head wont get big till make a certified hit...
Its definatly helpful when communicating with musicians when ur trying to get a certian vibe outta them. Its also how i pick my sounds if I start with a yellow synth ill match the rest of the sounds to that color...like u would ur shoes amd shirt. Its also good for whem it comes time to do the final sequence on an albym or mixtape. Im not trying to stunt or anything iceman i was just wondering since there are so many producers on the site if anyone had similar experiences and how they apply it.

I have it too ...
LMAO... this topic has definitely come up before...it was funny then..it's funny now. I'm not a DOPE musician or producer so I definitely don't have it. Most people feel DOPE music....I personally don't care to taste and smell it. Specially if a producer thinks they're "the shit"....that would produce and AWFUL odor and a terrible taste I'd think.
I'm not with ICEMAN on much but I swear he hit the nail on the head with his comment....this ain't the first place I've read or heard this special gift but whomever was in discussion about it claimed to possess this powers really really felt they were the dopest dudes doing it. Funny thing is...most of them were in fact NOT doing it. They were still in the basement like most of us here but damn they had great potential...lmao
We need to find away to poll some platinum producers like Dr. Dre and them and see if this exist with them.
A few of them classical musicians also were certifiably CRAZY so there's no telling what other shit they experienced. They may have even experienced SUPER FUTURISTIC orgasms while producin' or sumfin.... (dying laffin') outter body Pluto experiences and things of that nature.
"Beethoven was often thought of by his peers and historians as an angry old man whose deafness caused him insanity. Although there is truth to his drinking (Beethoven died of pneumonia and cirrhosis of the liver) and his self-imposed reclusion from society, Beethoven's latter years were simply the cause of choices Beethoven made to not involve himself greatly with society."
Now are any of you photosynthesia dudes deaf...not DEF as in jam but deaf as in can't hear what the fuck you playing....lmao
P.S. Lucifer was the dopest musician EVER with the greatest gig but where is he now....lol

for example when I hear soulja boy, I see brown mostly .... lol j/k , personally I don't really see it as a gift, matter of fact most people associate colors with certain feelings/concepts etc ...

I have this too. It was heavy when I was young, lately I either ignore it or its going away. NERDS last album was based on this too.
nah man....just poking fun. If you have it you have it. This quote unquote super musician that claim to have it or had it where history noted "not all together in the head" ooorrrrrrr maybe we are the crazy ones and not them. It's also documented that those of us who don't have one sense usually have hightened senses of another kind. That could explain someone being deaf having heightened senses of another kind.
I don't understand how other cats think talking about this topic makes you think your better then others??
This is a certified condition and has nothing do do with musical abilitity.. its just a matter of the neurons in your brain intersecting. (Ex sound neurons trigger your visual neurons). This is why some see colors, its different expernice for everyone who has it. Some people can taste sounds etc..
But yea this has nothing to with musical ability , alot of non musical people have it.
no need to get defensive sheesh
