v interesting
to me it sounds like its at least something in this vein especially that its involuntary and so strong for you

like i believe the concept is real but I don't think it is something that everyone couldn't do if they tried to do it

I agree with that

the difference for people that have it is that they dont try to get it. it just happens involuntarily and very very quickly. its an immediate reaction not a think about it and decide reaction

its also consistent for people w it. the same sounds give the same colors even if they hear them weeks months or years apart

out of interest do you make music?

ohhhh

when i listen to carly rae jepsen i think of pictures of foxes does that make me a synesthete

unfortunately not 🦊

What I find interesting and not discussed often, is that DAWs facilitate synesthesia in users making music — the interface shows color blocks associated with sounds. (At least on Logic Pro X.) This has made musical imagery much more tangible in my imagination, and easier to grasp in a creative context where I think of these color blocks as an open-ended puzzle.

Eg when I see a sound block playing X piece of music, I associate this block (visual) with the sound — and this sticks after looping it several times while editing.

this can also happen naturally when you been making music for a long time.

no wonder why most musicians do d**** to enhance it.

making music on psychedelics is also a life changing experience, I'd say way better than just listening.

thats actually really true

it fits pretty strongly w that idea of learned association creating those pathways as well

thats why i said making music feels like painting to me. my daw is my canvas:

edit: better image (project of mine)

can you message people on here i still haven't figured it out

why is it so much more difficult then ktt1 it's such a basic feature

Dang I forgot how

ktt2.com/messages

but there aren't notifications or anything yet so you have to @ people and tell em to check

oh i was hoping no one messaged me because they couldn't

lolll
no-one uses it really
dont feel bad

no chat threads, and no one uses messages

😕 ktt2 is different safe idk if i like it

messages just haven't been finished yet s is a goat and will get them done

C minor for me is dim gray, C major always felt like green that keeps getting brighter, when it goes to F it's not even the same hue, F feels like orange mixed up with black. the tritone F# is straight up black in comparison.

best I'd say is G major, G major for me is that light blue to blue gradient.

E minor is the red for me.

imo most mental conditions arent cut and dry enough that either someone has it or not. Some people probs have some parts stronger than others and weaker than others etc. You can see this especially when it comes to mental illness like anxiety and depression. Nobody really exhibits the exact same symptoms.

Considering the fact that there's tonnes of different senses going on in the brain (not just 5 lol), synesthesia is likely no different. I reckon "asmr" and "frission" are types of synesthesia.

that sounds cool but actually thinking about experiencing that I think I'd hate it. I do audiovisual stuff and I'd hate to feel obliged to follow what my brain tells me it feels like. Do these associations feel "correct" to you? As in do these feelings actually sway/guide your paths of workflow at all?

yea absolutely
its like adhd
everyone has adhd symptoms
but its a spectrum some people only have a few and very rarely some people exhibit almost all of them at an intensity that makes it difficult just to live

Can attest you can definitely get the effects of Synesthesia off psychadelics

yeah in the end its just structure and electro-chemical reactions in the brain, we might reach a stage where we can a***yse someones brain basically omnisciently and with that I think we'd completely throw away all these labels because we'd be able to properly quantify/qualify someones conditions based on their composition

ahhaha yeah on acid i ate a sausage roll that felt slippery

Make that s*** dark
