ello people, fabulous community.
When I listen to music I often get a strong sense of color in my head. Well, not all music- usually only some rock music, but a lot of classical.
For example, When I listen to the rock album Morning View by Incubus I get the following per track:
1 nice to know you - reds and oranges
2 circles - blue and gray
3 wish you were here - yellow and white, small hints of gray
4 just a phase - green
5 11am - gray
6 blood on the ground - green and yellow
7 mexico - green
8 warning - red
9 echo - blue and white
10 have you ever - white and gray
11 are you in - turqoiuse
12 under my umbrella - green and blue
13 aqueous transmission - yellow, brown, green
Classical Music colors for me change with instrument type and tempo of the peice.
Does this association have a name? Why does it happen, whats behind this? Do you think there could be a consistency in instrument type and color association, tempo and association etc among humanity in general?
What music gives you the most color (or other unexpected sense)?
Does a musician as a whole give you a color, individual tracks, both?
I am interested in any types of reactions you get while enjoying the sounds surrounding your head, heck even if its not music- a lions roar for me? gold and brown- a cats meow? a warm red, everytime.
