Heroes......

I was watching "Heroes" season 4 the other night, and there's a female character who has sound/colour synaesthesia. She is deaf and I think its cool the way it shows the colours seeping out of the instruments, the piano, the cello, even when a cup hits the floor and smashes, a blue light emanates out from it. I don't see the colours that way but I think everyone experiences it differently.
I've never seen synaesthesia in a movie or a TV show before, but a lot of people are studying it now.

If I think about it another way, "Heroes" is portraying synaesthesia as a super power, and I have it, so that means I have a power! ( smug smile )

Synaesthetic Ramblings

I'm listening to The Cure - Disintegrated. It's kind of light pink and dull blue with a fizzyness over the colours like bubbles on the top of a stream of water, or tiny stars peaking through a misty/ foggy night. Some of the songs have a yellow stream flowing through the pink and blue. Recently found out I only have colours on guitar chords and music played on guitars, but none whatsoever on piano chords. It was a bit dissapointing. But I guess since a lot of people don't hear colour at all, I should see myself as lucky.

Rainbows...

Isaac Newton tried to match sound waves to light waves. He came up with seven colours for the seven notes in a scale. His colours were: C  Red D  Orange E  yellow F  Green G  Blue A  Indigo B  pink (These colours are wrong to me!!) Its because of Newton that people have thought that there are seven colours in a rainbow. But if you look closely you'll probably only notice six. I can only ever see six. Thats the view out my bedroom window the other day. I'm listening to "So What" by Miles Davis. Its blue with bits of red and fizzy yellow sparkles. Theres a bar of black behind the other colours.
