Synesthesia

[-FutureStar-]

If you haven't heard about Synesthesia, check out Wikipedia. You might have it!

When I listen to music I imagine colours. It's not a concious thing I do. All Muse songs have a colour: Stockholm Syndrome is dark blue, Exo-Politics is green, Starlight is orangey, City Of Delusion is brown etc.

I also imagine instruments to have different colours and intensities so I decided to try and draw out a Muse song using this idea. It was very hard to switch between colours very quickly so it's a bit messy... but you get the idea. I listened to the music video version of Sing For Absolution so extra noises made their way into this picture.

If you can spot any song segments, let me know! This will probably just look like a load of scribbles to most of you...

I've got it, it's quite cool for some reason From what I remember:

Micro Cuts - Dark red
Take A Bow - Green
Citizen Erased - Yellow
Showbiz - Dark blue
Hoodoo - Brown
Map Of The Problematique - Lime/Yellow-y green

Can't remember any more, I'll have to give a few songs a listen and remember which colour they are.

I think I may have it.. listening to Fury... the bass part is dark red, Matt's guitar bright orange and yellow...
and also, I don't hear colors, but I see sounds, so I couldn't really spot much song except for maybe the purple and blue scribbles being Unintended? That's about the color Unintended is for me...
For the most part though, the images get combined with ice skating programs I sometimes think up. I have to try to ignore the skater part of my brain.
I tried to draw New Born in photoshop, a link if you want to see http://www.max-dan-wiz.com/profiles/blogs/synthensesia
