I suppose I fancy myself an aesthete, because I’m drawn to art and beauty and right brain activities,
but I don’t believe I’ve experienced sounds as colors as clearly as you describe.
I do make other associations with sounds and pieces of music. I usually see -places- when I write music.
Either a place I’m frequently at around the time that I’m writing the song, or a place that’s close to my heart
which I’ll visualize while I’m writing - and once I’ve done this, that place (in all it’s vague, dreamlike detail) will forever be associated with that song in my mind.
In any case, I’m fascinated by the topic and I’m interested to hear whatever else you gentlemen have to say about it.
