Synesthesia is a perceptual condition that mixes senses.
Because of this, people can see, smell, even taste music as they listen to it. (It can cause a lot of other things too but this is just what I focused on).
I actually learned about it in psychology a little bit but I found some paintings on Twitter that people did showing how they perceive different songs! I thought it was so interesting and it's crazy to me how even though the artwork is so abstract, I can always see the relation to the song! Music is so important to my life, as I'm sure it is for you guys as well and I would encourage looking into this! It's pretty cool to see some of your favorite songs brought to life in these paintings! Here's just a couple of examples that I found on a website!
Wow. I think I've heard of this before but I've never actually seen it in a visual form before that's so cool that some people can sense these things (I wonder what songs taste really bad, lol) I'm hoping to take psych next year too I hope it's fun.
ReplyDeleteI love this because music is definitely an inspiration for me, but I didn't know there was an actual term for seeing things in music. I love how colorful and abstract these are! The paintings are very expressive of each song.
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously so cool, I love that the colors go with the music and the vibe of the artist and song. Its so interesting to think about music in this new way.
ReplyDeleteI really love all of these because I feel as if all of these tie the songs and artists together and create a certain theme for the song!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I've heard that one of my favorite singers, Marina Diamandis, actually has synesthesia! Apparently she associates colors with all of her music. Fascinating concept and beautiful art!!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy cool! It makes music a much more tangible thing for people. Beautiful concept and art.
