My lightning bolts are looking thin, translucent and a little sparkly today.
Come to think of it they are more like waves. #synaesthesia

Dear #Synaesthesia Bsky: What do diamonds, emeralds, and rubies smell and taste like? Tourmalines? Pearls? Opal?

finer tastes

a fuzzy balance - between solid, vapour or liquid. between colours and tones. between sensations and consciousness

#Neurodivergent composers: what are your preferred notation systems? Do you find graphic scores more efficient in representing your sensory experiences?

A friend & I both have #synaesthesia. In a recent, casual conversation about author writing style we noticed how we tended to describe it synaesthesically. E.g. one style "clogged our reading" & another's was "like rich chocolate." It had nothing to do with the story or plot itself. #reading

The polyrhythmic pattern at the start of The Who’s Baba O’Riley is one that always does that for me!

Those kinds of rhythmic patterns tend to give me very pleasant tactile, visual, and sometimes gustatory sensations, too! #Synaesthesia #Music #NeurodivergentMusic

I see time as a grid in my mind. I remember the birthdays of friends I haven’t seen for 65 years Judy Stokes, a retired GP, shares her experience of spatial-sequence synaesthesia

’…the diagram goes backwards to about 100,000BC and then forwards all the way to about the year 2500 before tapering off.’

I see sounds as shapes. Synaesthesia has given me an extraordinary ability for languages > "I’m 44 now and only realised I had auditory-visual synaesthesia in my 30s. What I did know was that I seemed to have an extraordinary ability for linguistics. In school I studied Japanese and did really well without trying because I could literally see the words and sounds presented as images in front of me, making them easy to remember. At university I majored in Spanish, Korean and Indonesian and it was no effort at all. I then joined the air force as an intelligence officer because I didn’t want to become a teacher or translator. I walked away from the language aptitude test thinking I’d either messed it up or that it had been the easiest thing I’d ever done in my life. No one’s ever managed to get every answer right, they said when the results came back. But I hadn’t even tried. It just came naturally."

Congratulations you have #synaesthesia!

I really enjoyed making these. In total there are 5 explorations that all started at the same place . There’s no AI here- just furious assemblage and dis-assemblage in photoshop.

Perfect Song: "Perfect Way" by Scritti Politti. Every 80's music Hallmark condensed into one song. Perfect, squared off, completely aligned to a grid. DX7 FM bass. Gated reverb drums. Samples. Wonderful in execution & beautiful to hear. #PerfectSong #80s #Music #Synaesthesia

A twisting descent of abstract motifs that dance around each other.

So for the first time in a while i ventured bound the square canvas.

a more uncompromising approach. the repetition is deliberately impersonal; an erasure of ego and picturesque composure.
Just focused on pattern, inspired by techno

another formless form to envelop you. a colourful mist or a gelatinous blob- it’s both organic and technological with a fine geometric structure beneath its soft gradients.

Moving forward whilst looking backward.

I like to make these formless things that let your mind wander or wonder. There’s a frisson where tones and colours tightly coalesce, that makes me think of a synaptic charge of recollection. Zero AI used.
