About Color of My Sound
Synaesthesia is the mixing of the senses. Those
affected by it hear colors, see sounds, and taste tactile sensations. When
the two senses involved are sound and color, this phenomenon is no longer
limited to synaesthetes: anyone, given a sound and time for contemplation,
can ascribe color to that sound.
Often, these connections
between sound and color will overlap from person to person.
Color Of My Sound is an informal experiment to test
that hypothesis. First, choose a sound category.
Then, after listening, choose the color to which you are most strongly
drawn. Give us your thoughts. Then, you can see how others voted for that
particular sound.
