Corno Dolce! Russia? Have you ever been to the airport at Arkangelsk?
Maybe the glints I'm seeing are icy falling snow,
and the blue is the sky over the distant trees.
Airport at Arkhangelsk? Yep, and quite a few others. Yes, Russia is my Motherland now and I Love her very much. A Yank like me loving Russia? Why not? The skies here can be very enchanting indeed.......
And all the new music I'm being exposed to really excites my optical nerves

*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

BIG WELCOME HUUUUG 2 u Gillis!
Fascinating! I didn't realize all those composers had it.. can one develop it? I have ideas on the subject, tried RGB as minor,major,dominant, that way BLUES has both meanings, eh?
Really, can one develop this ability? I also like your visualizations like "pulse up from the bottom of my vision.." Strangely I will feel one way about a song or phrase, like the last notes in Chopin's C#minor waltz (the little dog) but once I play the same notes, I "see" it differently - from harmonic analysis.. but mostly I feel the emotions of the composers (I think).
Would all Mozart give you similar images and colors? Beethoven's would vary I suppose? fascinating!Originally Posted by Gillis
Thanks googols for sharing this, I'm very intrigued and hope you'll share more about this amazing gift!

Thank you for the welcome =)
Yes blue is quite a present color in my views. At the current moment I haven't done any thorough "investigation" as to which colors and senses match with certain notes and keys. But I think I may try and get in touch with my university here and see if I can talk to anyone.
And yes, playing and listening is quite a different experience. When I play Fantasy in D minor. It seems much more dark and almost purple haha But if I am listening to the music without playing any of it myself the piano does tend to give off a greener color. Most piano has a green tint to it.
Mozart and Beethoven have some differences in the way the colors progress through the music. But they do show some similarities especially in the way the music flows in a directional sense.
Also emotions are very present when I am listening to music. I always have a feeling of how a song should feel and flow through. =D
Does this then mean that if a song doesn't flow through the way you feel it should, the sensations (emotions/colours etc) become more unpleasant?
In a sense yes, it doesn't become so much unpleasant as it is annoying. Because I can see very well how much better it would sound and feel if the song went in a different musical direction and such haha
Its kind of like looking at your room when someone has gone through it, you know certain things should be elsewhere =P
May I ask, if anyone has a few minutes to listen to some of this piano concerto - and let me know if you see any colours?

Thank you

Hmmm not really seeing for me, but associating colours with something.
I don't mean to scare you, but it could be a symptom of something else. Better have it checked, just to be on the safe side. If it is nothing, then good. You are superhuman, just like the woman featured in Discovery Channel. She's seeing colors with sound, too(Synaesthesia)... Or maybe I watched too much of the series House. There is one episode there when the character had synaesthesia while inside a nasa simulator craft or something.
Hallo KPL and welcome to the forum.
No, I don't see any colours, but then I don't tend to suffer from this condition. Sometimes I see red, but thats a different story.

Thanks for the welcome, Teddy.
I just wondered what results my music would give on any of those who seem to really see music in this way.
Fascinating!
All I saw was a pink screen, no music
