Is there really any evidence that Messiaen SAW colors? I see colored textures when listening to music, in my mind's eye.

@Tengent It means in the mind's eye, but not simply imagining the colors, rather they emerge automatically according to the stimulus of the sound.

@roryscanlon at least that's how I experience it, in the mind's eye.
@roryscanlon Yeah, mine occur spontaneously. It's just that when I hear people talk about their own synaesthesia it seems as if they are really seeing what they describe. But I guess there really isn't any other way.

@Tengent I guess it must be about being able to keep the sensations out, or not.

Wonderful explanation of someone who sees colors and texture with sound stimuli...I have the same thing as a painter.
