So I recently discovered that I am a Synesthete!
For those who haven't heard this term before it is when someone hears music or sounds and in their mind they see colours or a group of colours that represent what they are hearing. It's really hard to explain but if you're interested you can read this: Synesthesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basically for me each song has a different colour, take for example the song 'niggas in paris', that is a lime green in my mind.
Individual sounds are the same as well, so 808 snares seem bright white to me yet natural sounding snares are more like a dull brown.
There are many different types of Synesthesia but the one I am talking bout is called Chromesthesia
Until watching the Pharrell interview with Oprah (where they briefly discuss it) I had no idea this was a phenomenon, I always thought everyone experienced music and sounds in the same way. Apparently only around 4% of people have it!
Does anyone else here experience this? If so do you see the same colours when hearing the song 'niggas in paris', 808 snares and natural snares?
