Only about 4% of the total population does have a "synaesthetic bone." "Schizophrenic" is an abused term in academia, as well as the notion of synaesthesia. Let's all quit being pompous and just enjoy the work of Svankmajer, which is enjoyable and not so entirely formal, just as Bach is not one or the other entirely intense...is on occasion very subtle.

This is the only animation I've ever seen that does Bach justice.

Me di cuenta de que mestoi llenando de agujeros y me quedan pocas ventanas para escapar de ellos, pero estos mismos forman un escape, solo que mas obtuso y me cuesta salir facilmente. Me pueden condenar a una vida entera dentro de mi mismo pero compartida con muchas otras personas, como la vida real pero sin la libertad, todo por mandarme una graaan cagada, pero quizas se solucione. Mientras tanto pensare la forma de entrar por los agujeros y no salir de mi cabeza bruscamente.

Look at the images around 6:42 and following -- the music changes to a deep progression that opens and opens harmonically and across the organ registers, and the images become a series of opening and further opening doors and hatches. There is the deepest sense that visual and auditory are one and the same. Awe-inspiring.

Pure schizophrenia! Madness! I think this should be shown and studied by all students of psychiatry...

[manthasagittarius]

@skydrake3 Either you don;t know what schizophrenia really is, or you don't have a synaesthetic bone in your body. This is far too coherent, and the progression of images as the music unfolds is far too well matched thematically and even rhythmically, to suggest that kind of fragmented loss of reality grip. This piece is brilliant. Got enough synaesthesia in you to recognize that this has a taste too -- the purest dark bitter chocolate -- formal, intense, lingering.
