Music Art Colors : Or melodic, harmonic mu·Si·cal Syn·aes·the·sia (Take 1)

syn'aes'the'sia (sin'is-the'zh)n. 1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound induces the visualization of a color.Music color synesthesiaIn music color synesthesia, individuals experience colors in response to tones or other aspects of musical stimuli. Like grapheme color synesthesia, there is rarely agreement amongst synesthetes that a given tone will be a certain color, but individuals are internally consistent. Tested months later, a synesthete will report the same experiences as they had previously reported.Color changes in response to pitch may involve more than just the hue of the color. Lightness (the amount of black in a color; red with black may appear brown), saturation (the intensity of the color; candy red is highly saturated, while pink is unsaturated), and hue may all be affected to varying degrees. Additionally, music color synesthetes, unlike grapheme color synesthetes, oftenX report that the colors move, or stream into and out of their field of view.MUSIC. ART.
