Reading about clinical populations in college, it seems most people that have this are actually troubled by it rather than proud. They suffer from an over-stimulation of senses when in an area with large noise-like traffic, for example. Still, absolutely fascinating.

Oh man, I never get over-stimulated. Nothing looks more awesome than just a ton of varied noise and sounds, it's so cool man.

And Saskrotch, don't think that counts hahaha.

Gunrunner, numbers and stuff kind of do that for me. I see timelines different than anyone else I know. Specifically times of the day and years and months. They all have colours and textures and feels to me.

this is the most enjoyable thing i've read in quite some time

multi-sensory compliment!  love it...

Hahaha, it is quite a funny thing to read.

That LSDJ cart I bought from you sounds great! wink

Oh, sorry Bit Shifter haha. Regardless, your music looks awesome!

I'll definetly check out Steve Reich haha...I didn't know Bit Shifter was a synesthete! Information Chase gives me lots of blues and grey's actually haha. And I guess we do see things the same way, with the lines and position of the notes. I've never seen circles though...that's cool. I see 2D as well.

I should try and draw how I see certain sounds. I love how i can't like, turn it off haha. No matter what it is, I just see it. I'd feel so empty without it, it's up there as one of my main senses haha. I recognize sounds by how I see them.

The worst thing ever is when people never leave you alone about it hahaha. Hey frostbyte, what does this look like? or this? why can't you describe it clearer? Can I try and draw what you see?

I appreciate it but it does get annoying after 5 million questions haha. Or someone's like "tell me all about it!" and then I explain and they call me crazy or say I'm lying haha.

I'd be totally down for a collab dude!

For me, the specific notes don't have colors, the timbre gives it the color. Not sure about the OP though.

But for me the color comes as instantly as I hear it.

Dude no freaking way! I have that too, but we're totally different as far as seeing it goes. It's extremely hard to describe, but i kind of see notes and sounds as different lines and the timbre affects the shapes of them as well as the colour.

I'm kind of hesitant to tell people about it because they usually say I'm crazy, and some think it's really cool and bug me about it for hours haha.

I tend to find music that has the most variation in lines and shapes intrigues me more than less shapey music. It helps with me composing because I can kind of get lost in what it looks like and I can tell how good something sounds through how it looks. Although when I start a piece it usually looks really empty to me and it's rather unsettling until I get to fill in other pieces haha.

I also find that it's near impossible to draw anything close to what I see at all.

Some things that I find interesting:
a. Dubstep looks so weird, in a cool awesome way. Very dark green     and with an indescribable texture.
b. Skrillex style house is very blue to me, and it just looks so cool
c. Car engines, birds chirping, white noise, etc. all have very unique looks
d. Rock and roll is very very very rough, sometimes too much.
e. The way i see it, higher pitched sounds are higher up and lower tones are lower in my "vision"
f. Ovenrake's Catbutt looks so awesome!

I mean, it is true. The rules are the rules and he should have gotten permission. While I don't think what the photographer did was moral, it was what the rules let him do. And, who says the law is moral.

It's sad, but until we have some kind of copyright reform in the States, there's nothing anyone can do besides be extremely careful with this stuff unless you can afford to defend your stance.

How can they charge him if he took everything down?

Nice, I'll check that out ;D

But did he really just throw an effect on it? And where did you hear that he didn't senda cease and desist?

What makes it worth it?

And 8br, I'll send you my dirty bass patch too along with my kick  wink

God this is so stupid. Who has the heart to just destroy this guy's bank accounts over a tribute? I don't even understand why one would be offended over someone making a reproduction of his art. If someone took my album and re-did it with real instruments, I'd be delighted! Why doesn't that philosophy hold true to this guy?

I think it would be really cool for the photographer to see his work influencing another's art.

I can never make anything good with my own waveforms, I'm not sure how that works exactly hahahaha.

roboctopus: I found the general technique in a youtube video, then I messed with it a bit to give it more punch...I'll post how I do it soon haha.

And thanks for those noise kicks, I'm gonna check them out right now!
