Animations

From the book "The Frog Who Croaked Blue" by Jamie Ward.

When you play this movie you will see a set of animations that were produced from descriptions and drawings of synaesthetic experiences triggered by musical notes.

The animations were made from five different synaesthetes and so each note is played five times, once for each person. Note the wide variety of different experiences. But perhaps you will also notice some common trends too. Does the vision tend to move more in one direction, and do some notes tend to produce darker or larger visual impressions than others?

The whole reason I don't want my condition diagnosed is because I didn't think they'd believe me because my perceptions would differ from other synaesthetes...maybe my mind has changed now.

it's interesting to see the interpreted movement and color as expresed by a Synaesthetic person. I wish I could see it how they do: I don't think they see colors on white or black backgrounds since they are actually seeing whatever they are looking at. So, how would this sound appear at a concert, or out of a stereo, or is there a "screen" in front of me that displays colors in an opaque way as displayed in the video?
