Synesthesia is a condition in which one sense (for example, hearing) is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses such as sight. Another form of synesthesia joins objects such as letters, shapes, numbers or people's names with a sensory perception such as smell, colour or flavour.
The Music
The Art
The Process
Yes, I have heard of this, where others can perceive music through vision. Amazing. I also listened to @nathankaye's song while reading your post to get the full effect. Thanks for sharing your art and some new music. -Aimee
It's an interesting thought experiment to imagine what music could look like. Often what I see in my head isn't close to what I produce but the process for these posts is always fun. Thanks for dropping by!8

Whoa, that's awesome. So great to see Curie partnering with projects like this. They were probably the first witnesses I voted for. They really are doing amazing things for this community. Please consider voting for them if you haven't already.
This is soooo good. Love how you sat with a compass and made those circles patiently. And the colours after you process it on mirror lab, especially with the black, is amazing!
The idea to synthesise music and art is brilliant. It's a great way to discover new music like Nathan's. I'm looking forward to this series!
Thaaanks. I love the process of creating these even though the final outcome may not be all that nice looking. It's a good way to get in the practice to get better too. Also the quality of the music I find here is just incredible. This little series is turning out to be great in so many ways.
You should try drawing music sometime. Hey maybe when you're back we can have a Synesthesia Party?
I think the final outcome looks great! You're too modest, man. Like Modest Mouse.
I should try drawing music. I want to draw first to @karunya's poetry!
Hey, I'm back this time next week already. Will you come back home?
I'll be back in the city for Basil's wedding, so yeah we can chill.
Oh my god this is stunningly BEAUTIFUL!! The colours, the design.. the idea!!!!
My son has synaesthesia.. stronger as a kid but less so now. It meant names and letters had coloyr graduations.. if he knew you well, for eg, your name would be goldish. Mine was pinky gold. Also music... deeper notes brownish through to reds and yellows. Hes a musician.. i always wonder if that cross sensory firing allowed him to access that talent ..
Thank you! Your compliments mean a lot! I've never met anyone with actual synesthesia. It sounds like a separate reality. It would be amazing to hear his music if he is willing to share. It'd also be interesting to see an interpretation of what art actually looks like to someone with synesthesia.
Wow! Bruthaman! This is truly epic!
And such an honour to have my music and philosophy act as a muse for an artistic creation!
So your mandala is reminiscent of my first tattoo that I got in 2001, which is also based around the flower of life, or more specifically, the seed of life (as well as celtic and sufi concepts)... Whilst the colouring is different, there's an uncanny resemblance to it in your art here.
I will get a pick and upload it soon so you can see...
Anyway, thanks so so much for honouring me and my music in this way. I am deeply touched.
Namaste bro!
🙏🏽
That's really cool about the tattoo. I've always been in awe of Sacred Geometry and I thought a loose interpretation would suit your art well because the words have that feeling of carrying a meaning that's more than what's literal. Glad you like it, it was fun doing and your music is really inspiring.
Awesomeness brotha.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Dude, maybe you could someday make some art into music. Like the reverse of what I'm doing. I have a feeling you'll be awesome at it.
