It’s why my band director loves UIL, so many amazing young musicians and he describes it like seeing the true night sky for the first time. He sometimes doesn’t even need sheet music while directing because he just sees the colors and knows what part we are at. Pretty cool.
Ok, but serious question though.... Did Ratatouille have synesthesia? Like the foods he tried turned into patterns and swirls and different tempos. But when he tried to show his brother, he didn't see it.
I think the animation was merely illustrating the sensation of taste in a figurative way. But I agree, the effect was similar to synesthesia, and some people might have that kind of synesthesia. But I don't think the movie meant him to have literal synesthesia. But maybe! Who knows what the animators/directors intents were in that regard.
@McNugget Fan You can't say what you would've done. There's tons of things that we experience that nobody talks about. As a disabled person I didn't realize I was disabled because I lived in my own world and when you only see one version of reality, how are you supposed to know it's weird? It'd be like asking your mom why the ocean has moving white stuff on it (light reflecting). Nobody talks about it because it's just... there.
yes it is like that. every note, every key has it's own color and shape, so it's really easy for me to tell the name of the notes playing whether I play the instrument or someone else does
I only know one person with Synethesia, a taxi driver. When she listens to my future/synth pop, she sees greens, purples and pinks with a tinge of orange. :) A great human being. So unique.
@@lancegarcia931 I'm sorry if I offense you but do you like see fireworks of colors? Does it gives you headache sometimes because of the bright colors? Again I don't mean any offense 😊
@@sxhem5889 actually it's more like a constant mix of colors that sometimes explodes like the fireworks you said depending on the sounds and their intensity. (AT least for me) Sometimes when theres to much noise it can be a little stressful and overwhelming. But for most of the time, it is nice
Kaitlyn’s music teacher: *plays a note* Kaitlyn: *raises hand* Teacher: yes Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn: Play that again. Teacher: ...why? Kaitlyn: I liked the color.
As a person with this kind of synesthesia, I don't LITERALLY see colors in my vision. It's more like a very strong feeling. It's kinda like tasting grape candy, and thinking of the color purple, or vice versa, because that's what your brain associates those senses with. My colors aren't determined by chords, but.. Maybe more of overall tones and melodies. I personally think everyone has a type of this synesthesia. In its most minor forms, its like feeling the colors on the cover of an album while you listen, even when you're not looking at it. It's just a blend of senses. Closest it comes to a visual experience is if I close my eyes. I can almost see them that way.
Me At The Beginning of Video: "Whoever recorded this video shakes the camera too much" Me at the end of the video: "Wait... I can move the video?? This is cool!"
@@isabelarielle i hate these kinds of videos because they usually still have the main events in one area. And if I watch them on my phone, they shake waaaaaay too much. Totally not worth it, imho.
Please tell I'm not the only one who is REALLY jealous of her! I would love to be able to see sounds as colors. It would make arranging pieces for my marching band way easier, being able to see the sound patterns would help me isolate various parts, it would also let me play covers better.
u do, u just don t realise it yet. it might be stronger in her genetically or shes trained it. everytime u see some colour or hear a sound it mor or less points u to a difrnt thing. if we had different language it would point us differently, depends on how ur body structures n atoms have formed n what rules u've given it. a table and tree strats with T and ends with E so one colour could remind u of "TE" but then it depends on ur condition of body how tired u re what other distactions u have, it might go to TREE coz its shorter ad coz E+E = syncronized but to table coz its longer maybe moreinteresting
You know, I am "like her" and it's not always a good thing at all! What I love about music is the colours, smells, tastes and shapes that I can feel because of it. Thing is, now that I know that it's not "normal" to feel that, I just feel like I will never be able to share my vision to the others. My passion for music comes from synesthesia and other people around me can't even understand that! I have the same phenomenon for all of my other senses and I feel pretty lonely now because my vision of the world is never going to be the same as somebody else's… I don't know if you got what I'm actually trying to say but just know that it's also hard to live alone with it so be happy with what you've got :)
josie h it can probably be unconsciously learned but most of the time it's actually not. As someone who experience that I can assure that synesthesia is from birth. I remember when I was three or four I could already see colours in music so it has nothing to do with a learning process
Alois Trancy well I thought that he said that not because of 4:20 but more about 42 like the meaning of life and everything.... guess I'm too innocent for that 😛😅
Most blind people usually if they aren’t completely blind can still see light and dark, and shapes (eg the outline of a person). It’s possible but I couldn’t be sure
yeah basically, i make beats and having synesthesia helps a lot it sets the moods for most of my songs and it helps me think of a cover art for my beats. It's pretty dope
I hAvE a FoRm Of SyNeStHeSiA tOo!!!! Mine makes eating feces taste like bohemian rhapsody! I'm totes not lying!!1!! Can I have my handful of internet likes now?
@@dinostorion that's not exactly how it works. The colours cannot be distracting because they are always there. Just the way you are not distracted by the way your mouth tastes or by your noses smell from the inside - it's always there and you know how to deal with it.
@@leato0ny For me, it can be overwhelming or sometimes distracting when it really doesn't match. Just because the air is always moving doesn't mean the wind can't knock you down.
Notes for me: C- Yellow Em - Dark blue E- Green G - Kind of light blue D - White, Yellow, gold A - Red Am - Kind of like green and red mixed together Yesh, some notes according to me-
This has me curious. You said the note Am looks green and red. Then I look at what those 2 notes are for you and its E and A. Do you think there's a mixture of those tones? I'm wondering how that works.
I guess she also has perfect pitch. I realised I have grapheme synesthesia at high school. I could memorize number sequences very easily, and someone once asked me "how can you remember so many random licence plates?" And I was like "your mother's car is yellow pink white red, I see colours when I'm trying to remember it". She stared at me for a moment, and I said; "yeah, what? 5316". She couldn't believe it😂
I have a question, do you only associate the numbers to colors in your mind or do you visually see it like you would recognize “your shirt is blue”? Does that make sense?
@@peytondavis4086 it happens in our minds, when I see R for example, I don't visually SEE the color blue. It's like, my mind's eye sees blue, but I know there's no blue in my visual image. I kinda feel it, it's there, but only in my mind. Hope that makes sense xD
This specific form of synesthesia is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever come across about the human experience. All the connections between color and audio in our lives. How colors change people's moods, how music can bring life back into someone with dementia. Combining all of those things into one experience? That really makes me happy and sad at the same time. Amazing.
i have synesthesia and this is very accurate for my particular type. when I hear music I can see colors, shapes, patterns, and lines depending on the note(s). I can also see a particular color for words, numbers, and if I see letters (for example the letter B is blue and C is yellowish orange) And I can relate so much to this girl. I found out this wasn’t normal when I was 12.
away ,go I absolutely do! the problem is I love listening and singing along with music (and playing it) but sometimes I have to stop because it’s too much
@Bangsin/cos :D Well that's pretty much what synesthesia is, an association. I don't visually see the words of subjects in the associated colour, but the colour would come to mind when I think of/hear/see the word. I haven't really heard of anyone visually seeing words in colours as a form of synesthesia.
Whoa.... _whoa._ This is beyond cool. I mean I knew what synesthesia is, but I never imagined it like this. You must be experiencing the world in a truly extraordinary way. Do you see colours even when people speak or you hear any kinds of sounds, or is it just specifically music? Thanks for this video!! Much love
I will say its not very cool to actually have for most. Since it makes it really difficult to see when hearing stuff like classical music for me. For some its not very distracting but for alot it is a really big inconvience since they dont ever persue music making it an annoyance in day to day life.
Guess what. I was thinking what is the reason of feeling uncomfortable while watching. Then I red your comment. Yes this is the most horrible thing ever. As an epileptic person colored flashes are a nightmare. A couple of days ago the police car's siren has a blue flash I didn't walk and closed my eyes. So your comment is not a joke at all. And if there is a condition as you are thinking it will be catastrophic. And we see white spots/flashes in the air if we are tired.
That moved me to tears. As a lifelong musician I can’t even imagine experiencing ANOTHER way that music moves me. I can’t speak for others but I feel like y’all got the inside look at the fullness of music’s power and I’m a little jealous.
I never knew that it wasn't normal to see notes as colors. I've played piano for many years, and when I play I can see a whole spectrum, but i thought that was how it was for everyone and that's why people enjoyed music.
Morosely Melancholy do you see the notes like in the video? Are they kind of like pulsating dots or something else? Cuz the ones in the video actually interfere with your vision of specific spots what's it like?
Your colors are so soft and bright, and so wonderfully fleeting! After studying mine, I learned I enjoyed sounds that displayed colors like violets and red, which were often paired with wonderful low frequencies. After my hearing was somewhat damaged and I developed tinnitus, I started seeing more yellows and greens in what I heard... A truly strange experience. I still enjoy my violets, when I can find them. :]
I also have Synesthesia, very similar to what is seen here. I never knew this was strange until High School. I played Viola in Orchestra. Learning to control my tone and pitch was helped greatly by knowing what colors to match. Neat to know that I’m cool (>^-^)>
I just learned it wasn't "normal" to be able to see notes until abt 5 years ago. I got through 2 years of violin (playing by ear & color) until the teacher stopped the class and said play mid-stanza. 😩🙈😯 Needless to say, iGot kicked out bc iCouldn't read music. 😂🤣😂
I have the type where numbers, letters and every single thing (such as a blank paper) have expressions on them. I must say, synthesia changed my life for the better, my surroundings have more vitality in them.
+LIMAWARE wish is one of the reasons i like to turn my radio off, i don't have synesthesia, but it kind of annoys me while im driving, there's a proper time for music and entertainment, the car's just not it
I also have synesthesia. I have this type along with others. I associate numbers and letters with colours. I associate smells and tastes with memories. The most prominent in my mind is seeing colours in music. As a musician, I am always experiencing new types of music, so I always see these colours. As she said, each colour corresponds with a note, and they never change. The most common misconception about this type of synesthesia is that we see the colour with our eyes. What we actually see is almost like a fireworks party in our brain. It is always there, but when I close my eyes it gets stronger. It doesn't affect vision at all. I completely agree with what she said in the video. I don't know what I would do if my synesthesia went away. I hope this helps people understand what it's like.
I have synaesthesia, but actually I found music theory quite difficult, as I don't have perfect pitch, so I find it difficult to identify keys sometimes. I would always do everything by instinct, and each key was a colour to me, and each chord was
@@bouji_ But that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to remember. People that easily associate one concept to another (notes to color for example) can use it to their advantage to remember specific notes through color association (that's what is meant by the original comment). Some people find it easy to associate the conventional visual notes to the associated sound (the normal way to memorize) and that's an advantage for them, but some will need a lot of help and practice to remember the same thing because it's more rote memory for them therefore it's less naturally memorable unless they find another way to remember notes more easily.
Yeah I agree with @paddu9072 also have color/shape-sound synesthesia and I don’t think it made me better at musical theory. If anything it perhaps made me better at identifying instruments by “ear” but that and the practice of correctly executing an instrument is very different
I tend to see the shapes and patterns that the music follows. Quicker, sharper notes will appear like the dots in this video, but longer wavier sounding songs will show a sin wave with changing amplitude and period based on the pitch. All together it is a collage of shapes and colors, making it very easy to fall in love with music
I want to have that condition now for someone like me who loves music a lot to find out you can experience it in such a new and vibrant why I'm kind of jealous god didn't bless me with this
I didn't know a lot of people couldn't see different letters with colors! Is this also with shapes? I don't know if everyone can see colors with shapes or not too.
This is the first 360 video I've seen. This was an interesting experience. Also, synesthesia makes it so much easier to figure out what's going on with a price, which notes are being hit. Actually pretty cool.
i have synesthesia and its a blessing and a curse, when im at a loud music festival, im almost blinded, but when im just listening to spotify while going to sleep i love watching the colours
I have chromesthesia, but it's not quite like the video - it's more of an association, though I sort of see it in my mind's eye. Here: I'll hear a certain harmony and it'll be orange and gold, but then it'll go flat and the colors will fade to navy blue. Songs are colors too - the song "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth, for example, is light yellow and a dark warm grey, and the chorus of "Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met)" by Panic! at the Disco is light blue, stark white, and black with clouds scudding across it. I sense colors and qualities in words, which is oftentimes frustrating since I'll want a specific shade of blue that has a more "lacy" feel than another. And I see colors, scenes, sensations, and sounds in people. My best friend is a warm green and slightly tarnished gold, a refreshing summer breeze, the song "Lose It" by Oh Wonder, and a comforting hug after a difficult day. It's honestly kind of trippy.
Tully Mitchell I don't know what is it, but I see colours in people and their personalities too, and it's really weird when I try to describe someone and the only word that comes to my mind is "orange"
Yeahhhh and I feel like some people are gonna be like “stop being disrespectful people are probably suffering because of this!” But yeah I really do :(
@@trademarkt the only suffering synesthesia brings is being slightly bad at math due to mixing stuff up and being grossed out by things that shouldn't be seen as gross (Ex. I can't stand porcelain sounds because the colour is really nasty) and also when loud music plays my vision gets all grainy. nothing to be sensitive about.
Just curious, are your colors the same as hers? I mean, do you experience "D" as blue and "F#" as green or in your head they all associate with other colors?
I'm confused, you need to give me more context. I was just saying that the OP said that they saw the same colors with the same sounds and that every synesthete has *different* colors with each sound.
that's why i can't drive with music on even though it's not that "invasive" for me (i see the hue as a "translucid border" in my whole sight perifery) it gets really hard
I´m so intrigued. I was wondering if it could get invasive or overwhelming. Also, im eager to know, does absolutely every sound have an effect? (Like ambience sound or the ordinary sound of a passing car, for example)
@@Zidane_Mina it does get overwhelming but in my case specifically synesthesia is related to my autism spectrum condition and i think it doesn't work like that for everybody who has it as for every sound having an effect, kind of? but depending on the quality it's more that i automatically attribute hues to them than i actually see them, for example if i hear my cat meow that's a clear pink note, but if i hear the wind or some other raspy noise i think "that WOULD be blue if it had a more defined pitch" basically i get it more from "sounds" and not "noises"
Ryzoh This is projected synesthesia, where you can actually see the colours ect. There is another more common type called associated synesthesia, which I have, where the colour may just pop into your head like a thought.
jamal yusuf I have associative Synesthesia and it's actually kinda hard. In Spanish our teacher gave us all colour codes sheets to study from but the colours are offending me and I can't bear to look at it...
Cookie Dough oh my god same my science teacher gave us colored ordered sheets to remember formats and I was just WHY IS GLUCOSE RED WHEN IT SHOULD BE PURPLE!!!
+kelnology Not at all... Synesthesia isn't a disability, it's a phenomenon, and a cool one. And it is related to music, because it can help with playing pieces by ear.
+kelnology LOL NO I play the bassoon and I study at a music college. Seeing a different colour for each note means you can tell which note is which, which is similar to having perfect pitch. This helps with music theory and performance drastically.
This was marvellously breathtaking and so educational! I used to think that in this type of synesthesia, the colours would appear as shades, or a spectrum, transitioning from one to the next, flowing seamlessly from one colour to another. I didn't expect them to be this sharply punctuated at all! It was a really great experience!! Thank you!!
When she remembers a song and plays it in her head does she remember the colours to? could she hear a paragraph being read out to her and memorise it only by the colours she is seeing?? So many questions! XD
That’s next level 😄 I think a person can develop this into a special talent, but it would require some hard work. But I also imagine it can make a person go insane
Kelly orator m They don’t see colors for every sound they hear. Listen to 0:34. She says that she sees colors for specific musical notes, not every color
CodeKillerz CodeKillerz she said, "when I hear specific musical notes, I see specific colors". I'm pretty sure by that she meant, "for every different musical note, I see a different color that is assigned to that specific musical note", not that "only certain musical notes trigger my synesthesia".
I don’t have projected synesthesia (the kind where you physically see stuff in your field of vision), but from what I’ve read of people who do have it, they’ve had it since they were born so they’re used to dealing with it. Also, it doesn’t usually block their entire field of vision. Like when you stand up too fast and see spots, it’s not like you’re completely unable to see, you can still see things around the spots and you can manage it
Paul ROGER you are right. If you hear colors that means when you see a color that everybody can see, you hear a sound that only you can hear. Different colors make different sounds. She (and I, because we are synesthetes) hear sounds that everyone can hear but when we hear it we see sights that only we can see. With me it only works if the language center in my brain is not currently engaged. If it is instrumental music or songs in a language I don't know, I can see the music. For me, unlike her, notes aren't always the same color. Different instruments have their associated colors, oboes are a bright fuschia. Major keys are bright red orange yellow chartreuse with sharply defined edges and minor keys are blue green purple or grey with misty cloud like edges. Dubstep drops are the best-like seeing fireworks!
*+Cal Cahill* Just curious, are your colors the same as hers? I mean, do you experience "D" as blue and "F#" as green or in your head they all associate with other colors?
This is incredible, what a gift! I've never heard about this until now, thank you for making this, its wonderful! What a beautiful person, and victor of this condition. Not going to lie I'm a little jealous. :)
Your not missing out on much. It can be annoying when people say they are jealous because foe me certain songs make me like almost unable to see. And i probably wont ever be able to drive while listening to music unless i pre-plan every single song based on how long the journey would be since it needs to be less intense if it would be a long trip.
Budred123 You have to be a special kind of stupid to equate synesthesia to ufo sightings... Wtf kind of logic is that. No, we don't see ufos, we see the color of sound....
I can tune a guitar perfectly by "seeing" the colors of each strings tone. They go from hues to the color as I adjust the tuning peg. My friends double check me with an electric tuner and I'm always dead on.
i dont see it physically but if i close my eyes its like some yellow and orange in the bottom and some yellow or white lines on top, depending on the instruments
Ah, Vivaldi. What a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing this. I've told people I "see music" for many years and I've never heard of this before. People always looked at me odd when I shared this with them. As a designer, I always attributed this to being a musician. I thought it was a common thing for many years. But seeing the music has made my timing my motion designs to it, to allow me to create designs far more denser than other motion designers. I especially like timing designs to Mozart, and coincidentally I've been called "the Mozart of Motion Graphics" a few times because of how I would build my animations. Looking at the way Mozart would layer his compositions on paper made absolute sense to me. It's natural for me to do the same thing effortlessly with hundreds, often even thousands of independent elements moving in 3-dimensional space over time. And my knowing where every element was at any given place in time. And it's all possible since I can see the music.
I don't have the type of synesthesia described in this video, but the food I was eating while I watched subtly changed in flavor as if the video was causing some kind of synesthesia effect. This was literally the trippiest experience ever. Educational and entertaining! The best of combinations!
i read colors ?? like when i read a specific book theres this color palette that pops up in my head and its hella weird but it gives me some inspiration when i want to make fanart for that book!!!
I just see a scene of a certain place i've never been before, like I automatically make up a scene in my head and I can feel the ambience of it. But everyone has that I think.
I have this and love doing paintings at night while listening to music. accepting where sound, color and our mind takes us is a good thing. If one learns to paint and make music it's fabulous. I love your music.
I see slashes of colors, but it's very transparent, and they are usually patterns and not just colored dots in a dark room. I still feel everything is dark, but it's again just slashes of colors, but they are very transparent and they are usually patterns. I know that everyone with chromo synesthesia sees different things, but this is what I see.
My vision of music ( as a synesthete myself ) is really different from hers. Not everybody is seeing just dots. I usually see colours surrounding me with no blank left. It's like a total immersion
For me, I get all sorts of qualities from music, but in relation to colors? It’s almost like looking at those swatches (?) of paint colors at the hardware store, but in my mind’s eye. Either that or I sense streaks and swirls.
Me too,I actually see colors when it’s pitch black. Especially when seeing a light with a pattern and close my eyes,it’s like I can see it even when my eyes are closed,but I don’t see the object where the light comes from. Example if this is when I just look at a light bulb (a really bright one) and close my eyes it would appear,but has a rainbow color to it.its really weird...
Imagine seeing this in an orchestra. It'd be like seeing an aurora borealis. Beautiful!
@RedZygarde may I see it?

Please tell I'm not the only one who is REALLY jealous of her! I would love to be able to see sounds as colors. It would make arranging pieces for my marching band way easier, being able to see the sound patterns would help me isolate various parts, it would also let me play covers better.
u do, u just don t realise it yet. it might be stronger in her genetically or shes trained it. everytime u see some colour or hear a sound it mor or less points u to a difrnt thing. if we had different language it would point us differently, depends on how ur body structures n atoms have formed n what rules u've given it. a table and tree strats with T and ends with E so one colour could remind u of "TE" but then it depends on ur condition of body how tired u re what other distactions u have, it might go to TREE coz its shorter ad coz E+E = syncronized but to table coz its longer maybe moreinteresting
I have it, it sucks. I am in band and colors flood everywhere...
yeah it would be cool. but having it happen ALL THE TIME is probably annoying.
You know, I am "like her" and it's not always a good thing at all!
What I love about music is the colours, smells, tastes and shapes that I can feel because of it. Thing is, now that I know that it's not "normal" to feel that, I just feel like I will never be able to share my vision to the others. My passion for music comes from synesthesia and other people around me can't even understand that! I have the same phenomenon for all of my other senses and I feel pretty lonely now because my vision of the world is never going to be the same as somebody else's…
I don't know if you got what I'm actually trying to say but just know that it's also hard to live alone with it so be happy with what you've got :)
josie h it can probably be unconsciously learned but most of the time it's actually not. As someone who experience that I can assure that synesthesia is from birth. I remember when I was three or four I could already see colours in music so it has nothing to do with a learning process

aaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH
Could a blind person have this kind of synesthesia?
🤦♀️
Most blind people usually if they aren’t completely blind can still see light and dark, and shapes (eg the outline of a person). It’s possible but I couldn’t be sure
Thats actually a very interesting question
@jared jared why on earth do you decide to write in spanish if you don't know this language that well?
Taylor Gh how did you she the comments if your blind tho?
That's truly amazing. I'd never imagine how normal that is to see in everyday life.
So it's like perfect pitch but way cooler.
yeah basically, i make beats and having synesthesia helps a lot it sets the moods for most of my songs and it helps me think of a cover art for my beats. It's pretty dope
Don't disrespect the people with perfect pitch
I have a form of synesthesia that allowes me to smell sounds and the song she's playing has a very prominent scent if pumpkin spice XD
I just feel very strong emotions when listening to a piece. Lol
da heck thats freakin awesome
me too! but not the same taste, of course haha
I hAvE a FoRm Of SyNeStHeSiA tOo!!!! Mine makes eating feces taste like bohemian rhapsody! I'm totes not lying!!1!! Can I have my handful of internet likes now?
Songs as a whole give me a colour, and the song she's playing is red.
Imagine being at a resturant with music in the background and there are just tons of colors
McKenna Williams you’re watching a musical but all the colors are distracting
@@dinostorion yes! That'd be crazy. Hey--- do you like theatre too???
@@dinostorion that's not exactly how it works. The colours cannot be distracting because they are always there. Just the way you are not distracted by the way your mouth tastes or by your noses smell from the inside - it's always there and you know how to deal with it.
leato0ny ohh so its like a normal thing if you have that condition... that makes sense
@@leato0ny For me, it can be overwhelming or sometimes distracting when it really doesn't match. Just because the air is always moving doesn't mean the wind can't knock you down.
Notes for me:
C- Yellow
Em - Dark blue
E- Green
G - Kind of light blue
D - White, Yellow, gold
A - Red
Am - Kind of like green and red mixed together
Yesh, some notes according to me-
Am is not a note and neither is Em no hate❤️
This has me curious. You said the note Am looks green and red. Then I look at what those 2 notes are for you and its E and A. Do you think there's a mixture of those tones? I'm wondering how that works.
Victoria still . Why do you say am and em are not notes ?
So you are saying A minor is brown? Green plus red = brown. :) That's my skin color, lol...
@@sylviewheeler6237 Am and Em are scales/chords (combination of notes)
I guess she also has perfect pitch.
I realised I have grapheme synesthesia at high school. I could memorize number sequences very easily, and someone once asked me "how can you remember so many random licence plates?" And I was like "your mother's car is yellow pink white red, I see colours when I'm trying to remember it". She stared at me for a moment, and I said; "yeah, what? 5316". She couldn't believe it😂
I'd imagine having synesthesia helps develop ones pitch attunement very well...
Positivitea me too, I just wanted to make sure. As a musician myself I feel like this kind of synesthesia is a little super power and I wish I had it!
Avengers of my world
I admire you to the end my core
👏 👏 👏
I have a question, do you only associate the numbers to colors in your mind or do you visually see it like you would recognize “your shirt is blue”? Does that make sense?
@@peytondavis4086 it happens in our minds, when I see R for example, I don't visually SEE the color blue. It's like, my mind's eye sees blue, but I know there's no blue in my visual image. I kinda feel it, it's there, but only in my mind. Hope that makes sense xD
This is my first time watching a 360 degrees video. The future is now
it keeps moving after you pause and it’s tearing my brain apart
Abby B you can move it with your finger too
is it really the first time that you guys see a 360 degree video???

Hey everyone! Hope you like this special episode! We all worked extremely hard on it! If you want more of these 360 videos, let us know!
yea lets see some more of these
keep it up guys!! loved it
Yes please do more! It's a whole different learning experience with these 360 videos! Very well put together too I must say!
Yess 360 videos are the best!
+DNews please, keep doing it! it's even better when watched with something like the project cardboard in a dark room.
This specific form of synesthesia is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever come across about the human experience. All the connections between color and audio in our lives. How colors change people's moods, how music can bring life back into someone with dementia. Combining all of those things into one experience? That really makes me happy and sad at the same time. Amazing.
i have synesthesia and this is very accurate for my particular type. when I hear music I can see colors, shapes, patterns, and lines depending on the note(s). I can also see a particular color for words, numbers, and if I see letters (for example the letter B is blue and C is yellowish orange) And I can relate so much to this girl. I found out this wasn’t normal when I was 12.
I found out I had it when I was 15. Do you get headaches from seeing too many colors at once too? It's helped me a lot with my music career.
away ,go
I absolutely do! the problem is I love listening and singing along with music (and playing it) but sometimes I have to stop because it’s too much
Woah! Have you ever tried painting a song?
Kii chan Yeah, but they ended up being a big mess of colors. I might do one soon and try to do it in a line...but otherwise it’s a huddle of colors 😂
You guys are just imagining things. Synesthesia is NOT real and all of you who think you have it are only out for attention.
The music is the 1st movement of Summer from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons if anyone was wondering ☺️
Oh my god. Thank youuuuuuuu
It's masterpiece
Yess summer's my favourite !! So glad she played that.
Muito obrigada
Having synesthesia is so helpful sometimes when I'm labelling things, such as schoolwork, because for me, every subject has it's own colour.
malfunction and the devil does it get frustrating sometimes? Like when out in the city? Just curious
@@sideeffects4699 Not for me, but some people might get annoyed
What a useful form
@Bangsin/cos :D Well that's pretty much what synesthesia is, an association. I don't visually see the words of subjects in the associated colour, but the colour would come to mind when I think of/hear/see the word. I haven't really heard of anyone visually seeing words in colours as a form of synesthesia.
same here!
Whoa.... _whoa._
This is beyond cool. I mean I knew what synesthesia is, but I never imagined it like this. You must be experiencing the world in a truly extraordinary way.
Do you see colours even when people speak or you hear any kinds of sounds, or is it just specifically music?
Thanks for this video!!
Much love
I will say its not very cool to actually have for most. Since it makes it really difficult to see when hearing stuff like classical music for me. For some its not very distracting but for alot it is a really big inconvience since they dont ever persue music making it an annoyance in day to day life.
But imagine being epileptic at the same time...
this killed me😂 that would be so unfortunate
Ouch
Lmao
I suffer from nocturnal epilepsy and have synthesia. Any struggle can be beaten in this life.
Guess what. I was thinking what is the reason of feeling uncomfortable while watching. Then I red your comment.
Yes this is the most horrible thing ever. As an epileptic person colored flashes are a nightmare. A couple of days ago the police car's siren has a blue flash I didn't walk and closed my eyes. So your comment is not a joke at all. And if there is a condition as you are thinking it will be catastrophic. And we see white spots/flashes in the air if we are tired.
I don't see the same colors that you see. This video hurt my brain. Your green is my orange. 😂
☺smylyface☺ Are you color blind?
@@sparklight0964 no, she also has anastisia. I spelt that wrong but y'know. And for her, notes are different colors. Hope that explained it

That moved me to tears. As a lifelong musician I can’t even imagine experiencing ANOTHER way that music moves me. I can’t speak for others but I feel like y’all got the inside look at the fullness of music’s power and I’m a little jealous.

I see it as crimson with faded white lace around the edges.
I saw it as a deep orange with a red faded end..
I see it as purple too. Kinda like a deep, royal purple?
I see it as a vagina pink color
James Gerry 😂😂
I never knew that it wasn't normal to see notes as colors. I've played piano for many years, and when I play I can see a whole spectrum, but i thought that was how it was for everyone and that's why people enjoyed music.
Morosely Melancholy We enjoy music regardless but wow, that would be much more amazing!
Exactly the same thing happened to me. For me it was completely normal to see colours :))
iam jealous! ㅠㅠ
Morosely Melancholy do you see the notes like in the video? Are they kind of like pulsating dots or something else? Cuz the ones in the video actually interfere with your vision of specific spots what's it like?
Nope all we hear is sound, but we see nothing... No color, we just hear it, as if we're blind
I am actually kind of jealous.

Sopph Dallevés oh
Your colors are so soft and bright, and so wonderfully fleeting! After studying mine, I learned I enjoyed sounds that displayed colors like violets and red, which were often paired with wonderful low frequencies. After my hearing was somewhat damaged and I developed tinnitus, I started seeing more yellows and greens in what I heard... A truly strange experience. I still enjoy my violets, when I can find them. :]
this is so pure
TRY BITCH LASAGNA BY PEWDIEPIE. TOTALLY RANDOM GUESS
@@default632 WHAT?
The sounds that I love most are a purplish, reddish-brown color. 🤗
I also have Synesthesia, very similar to what is seen here. I never knew this was strange until High School. I played Viola in Orchestra. Learning to control my tone and pitch was helped greatly by knowing what colors to match. Neat to know that I’m cool (>^-^)>
I just learned it wasn't "normal" to be able to see notes until abt 5 years ago. I got through 2 years of violin (playing by ear & color) until the teacher stopped the class and said play mid-stanza. 😩🙈😯 Needless to say, iGot kicked out bc iCouldn't read music. 😂🤣😂
Damn I wish I had synesthesia😂
simone pradhan same i read ab it and i was lowkey jealous ☠️
i can only taste words lmao
I have the type where numbers, letters and every single thing (such as a blank paper) have expressions on them. I must say, synthesia changed my life for the better, my surroundings have more vitality in them.
It's pretty fun
I see. Colors when I eat certain types of food
I can imagine having synesthesia and driving at night with the radio on
+Michael Esquivel It Differs.
+LIMAWARE wish is one of the reasons i like to turn my radio off, i don't have synesthesia, but it kind of annoys me while im driving, there's a proper time for music and entertainment, the car's just not it

+Ernesto Chang classical music is great to drive to
+LIMAWARE Waiting for a stop light to change could be confusing XD
I also have synesthesia. I have this type along with others. I associate numbers and letters with colours. I associate smells and tastes with memories. The most prominent in my mind is seeing colours in music. As a musician, I am always experiencing new types of music, so I always see these colours. As she said, each colour corresponds with a note, and they never change. The most common misconception about this type of synesthesia is that we see the colour with our eyes. What we actually see is almost like a fireworks party in our brain. It is always there, but when I close my eyes it gets stronger. It doesn't affect vision at all. I completely agree with what she said in the video. I don't know what I would do if my synesthesia went away. I hope this helps people understand what it's like.
I also have it, nice to know there's I'm not alone
In the video the colors appeared all placed in an imaginary scale, is that how you actually see them or are they all scattered randomly?
to me, they are in my head, in "front" of me
I only see colors with eyes close.
I have a friend that his sinestesia associate music and smell/taste, I do with memories and smell.
Susanne Freja hmmm, you most likely don't have it, you should be seeing the colours around you
This is really exciting. It makes the excited sounding music feel more exciting.
I can imagine this makes music theory easier to learn, as you can physically see notes
I have synaesthesia, but actually I found music theory quite difficult, as I don't have perfect pitch, so I find it difficult to identify keys sometimes. I would always do everything by instinct, and each key was a colour to me, and each chord was
a string of colours like one of those snake sweets. It took me a while to learn to assign those to technical terms.
Huh? You can still physically see all notes that are written.
@@bouji_ But that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to remember. People that easily associate one concept to another (notes to color for example) can use it to their advantage to remember specific notes through color association (that's what is meant by the original comment). Some people find it easy to associate the conventional visual notes to the associated sound (the normal way to memorize) and that's an advantage for them, but some will need a lot of help and practice to remember the same thing because it's more rote memory for them therefore it's less naturally memorable unless they find another way to remember notes more easily.
Yeah I agree with @paddu9072 also have color/shape-sound synesthesia and I don’t think it made me better at musical theory. If anything it perhaps made me better at identifying instruments by “ear” but that and the practice of correctly executing an instrument is very different
Superb work guys. Such originality. Thumbs up from us.

Welcome to the future bro :^)
Oooh. The same time I touch the screen the same time I see your comment.
It is so freaky 😲💜
I didn't realized it till I saw your comment
I tend to see the shapes and patterns that the music follows. Quicker, sharper notes will appear like the dots in this video, but longer wavier sounding songs will show a sin wave with changing amplitude and period based on the pitch. All together it is a collage of shapes and colors, making it very easy to fall in love with music
I want to have that condition now for someone like me who loves music a lot to find out you can experience it in such a new and vibrant why I'm kind of jealous god didn't bless me with this

I know right!!
if different letters have their own color, is that synesthesia?
Yes, it is. A form of it, anyway.
It is grapheme color synestesia. I have it too.

Awesome! Definitely make more!
Hey Discovery, have you met National Geographic on the comment section. They too are here too 😁
This is the first 360 video I've seen. This was an interesting experience. Also, synesthesia makes it so much easier to figure out what's going on with a price, which notes are being hit. Actually pretty cool.

i have synesthesia and its a blessing and a curse, when im at a loud music festival, im almost blinded, but when im just listening to spotify while going to sleep i love watching the colours
Since that happen have you ever been on another festival again?
What do you do to deal with it?
She thought "Duh" and then everyone in class turned to look at her? Maybe she has another super power besides synesthesia. 😊
Lmao I was thinking that too
I have chromesthesia, but it's not quite like the video - it's more of an association, though I sort of see it in my mind's eye. Here: I'll hear a certain harmony and it'll be orange and gold, but then it'll go flat and the colors will fade to navy blue. Songs are colors too - the song "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth, for example, is light yellow and a dark warm grey, and the chorus of "Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met)" by Panic! at the Disco is light blue, stark white, and black with clouds scudding across it. I sense colors and qualities in words, which is oftentimes frustrating since I'll want a specific shade of blue that has a more "lacy" feel than another. And I see colors, scenes, sensations, and sounds in people. My best friend is a warm green and slightly tarnished gold, a refreshing summer breeze, the song "Lose It" by Oh Wonder, and a comforting hug after a difficult day. It's honestly kind of trippy.
Tully Mitchell I see exactly the same colours that you described when I listen to one call away ! 😛
Dana Reignier-Tayar Thank God it’s not just me 😂
Tully Mitchell it feels really good to have somebody else who actually has the same association than me ( at least for that song :)
Tully Mitchell I don't know what is it, but I see colours in people and their personalities too, and it's really weird when I try to describe someone and the only word that comes to my mind is "orange"
Gizira Leon YES! I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that.
I’ve never wanted a condition so bad in my life till now 😔

ninjakat, Right, this is so cool.
Yeahhhh and I feel like some people are gonna be like “stop being disrespectful people are probably suffering because of this!” But yeah I really do :(
@@trademarkt the only suffering synesthesia brings is being slightly bad at math due to mixing stuff up and being grossed out by things that shouldn't be seen as gross (Ex. I can't stand porcelain sounds because the colour is really nasty) and also when loud music plays my vision gets all grainy. nothing to be sensitive about.
This is the most worthied video I've ever watched in RUclips. Thank you to let us experience what you've seen so far.
she did this perfectly i have the same i never knew it was weird till i was talking to my teacher and i said i see music
Just curious, are your colors the same as hers? I mean, do you experience "D" as blue and "F#" as green or in your head they all associate with other colors?
Hannah Porter Actually, it's normally different for every person...
m i n t v i b e s wait what do you mean?....i can't see colors when music plays....
I'm confused, you need to give me more context. I was just saying that the OP said that they saw the same colors with the same sounds and that every synesthete has *different* colors with each sound.
,
Marina and the Diamonds has a type of synesthesia like this (or the same) which is where I first found out about it. Amazing to see what it's like

This happened to me when I took 3 tabs of acid. Sounds became colors, it was an awesome experience.
paranormalunicorns
Wait- wut??
Dude, imagine. These people don't even need acid to hear colours in sound
But imagine how it would be to have that ability without having to take drugs
@@BbuyTheStars Looks normal
Can confirm this has happened to me on 2 occasions but the colours for me aren't repeatable it's all random if i experience them.
that's why i can't drive with music on
even though it's not that "invasive" for me (i see the hue as a "translucid border" in my whole sight perifery) it gets really hard
I´m so intrigued. I was wondering if it could get invasive or overwhelming. Also, im eager to know, does absolutely every sound have an effect? (Like ambience sound or the ordinary sound of a passing car, for example)
@@Zidane_Mina it does get overwhelming but in my case specifically synesthesia is related to my autism spectrum condition and i think it doesn't work like that for everybody who has it
as for every sound having an effect, kind of? but depending on the quality it's more that i automatically attribute hues to them than i actually see them, for example if i hear my cat meow that's a clear pink note, but if i hear the wind or some other raspy noise i think "that WOULD be blue if it had a more defined pitch"
basically i get it more from "sounds" and not "noises"
if thats what its like then i do not have synesthesia as far as i know im sort of jealous lol
Ryzoh This is projected synesthesia, where you can actually see the colours ect. There is another more common type called associated synesthesia, which I have, where the colour may just pop into your head like a thought.
Hi Bye that is still pretty cool but i don't have that either
jamal yusuf I have associative Synesthesia and it's actually kinda hard. In Spanish our teacher gave us all colour codes sheets to study from but the colours are offending me and I can't bear to look at it...

Umm...seeing music and amputating yourself are two completely different health statuses. The hell are you talking about?
+kelnology Not at all... Synesthesia isn't a disability, it's a phenomenon, and a cool one. And it is related to music, because it can help with playing pieces by ear.
+kelnology LOL NO I play the bassoon and I study at a music college. Seeing a different colour for each note means you can tell which note is which, which is similar to having perfect pitch. This helps with music theory and performance drastically.
This was marvellously breathtaking and so educational!
I used to think that in this type of synesthesia, the colours would appear as shades, or a spectrum, transitioning from one to the next, flowing seamlessly from one colour to another.
I didn't expect them to be this sharply punctuated at all! It was a really great experience!! Thank you!!
When she remembers a song and plays it in her head does she remember the colours to? could she hear a paragraph being read out to her and memorise it only by the colours she is seeing?? So many questions! XD
I cant, but she maybe caan,
yes and yes. depends on the person though. and sometimes you may see multiple colors and you couldn't remember 5 at a time
That’s next level 😄 I think a person can develop this into a special talent, but it would require some hard work. But I also imagine it can make a person go insane
How do they drive?
Won't they get blinded when someone honks?
Not how it works.
CodeKillerz then how does it work?
Kelly orator m
They don’t see colors for every sound they hear. Listen to 0:34. She says that she sees colors for specific musical notes, not every color
CodeKillerz CodeKillerz she said, "when I hear specific musical notes, I see specific colors". I'm pretty sure by that she meant, "for every different musical note, I see a different color that is assigned to that specific musical note", not that "only certain musical notes trigger my synesthesia".
I don’t have projected synesthesia (the kind where you physically see stuff in your field of vision), but from what I’ve read of people who do have it, they’ve had it since they were born so they’re used to dealing with it. Also, it doesn’t usually block their entire field of vision. Like when you stand up too fast and see spots, it’s not like you’re completely unable to see, you can still see things around the spots and you can manage it
She's not hearing colors, she's seeing music. That's not the same thing.
Paul ROGER you are right. If you hear colors that means when you see a color that everybody can see, you hear a sound that only you can hear. Different colors make different sounds. She (and I, because we are synesthetes) hear sounds that everyone can hear but when we hear it we see sights that only we can see. With me it only works if the language center in my brain is not currently engaged. If it is instrumental music or songs in a language I don't know, I can see the music. For me, unlike her, notes aren't always the same color. Different instruments have their associated colors, oboes are a bright fuschia. Major keys are bright red orange yellow chartreuse with sharply defined edges and minor keys are blue green purple or grey with misty cloud like edges. Dubstep drops are the best-like seeing fireworks!
Apathy and Ramen Noodles. Actually some of us do see them physically. It differs from person to person.
VICE VERSA
*+Cal Cahill* Just curious, are your colors the same as hers? I mean, do you experience "D" as blue and "F#" as green or in your head they all associate with other colors?
Well, in a way she is :)
Because what you hear while listening to music when you have synesthesia is definitely colours
This is incredible, what a gift! I've never heard about this until now, thank you for making this, its wonderful! What a beautiful person, and victor of this condition. Not going to lie I'm a little jealous. :)
Your not missing out on much. It can be annoying when people say they are jealous because foe me certain songs make me like almost unable to see. And i probably wont ever be able to drive while listening to music unless i pre-plan every single song based on how long the journey would be since it needs to be less intense if it would be a long trip.
Well, I can see numbers, letters, days of the week, months and years as colors. But idk if I can do it with music notes bcz I never tried it. 🤷♀️
Same here!
Joy me too!
hanyu yuzuru for me it’s green
hanyu yuzuru purpleee
May I ask what color is May?
She would know if someone is off tune 😆 this is a cool video btw
I wonder if this plays a role in some UFO sightings...
oh shit!
i nnever thought about it this way
+Elite Grunt it wouldn't affect it because it is all in the mind it doesn't affect sight at all. I know because I have it too
Ben Reed thanks for the clear up
+Elite Grunt no problem
Budred123 You have to be a special kind of stupid to equate synesthesia to ufo sightings...
Wtf kind of logic is that. No, we don't see ufos, we see the color of sound....
I can tune a guitar perfectly by "seeing" the colors of each strings tone. They go from hues to the color as I adjust the tuning peg. My friends double check me with an electric tuner and I'm always dead on.
What happens when these people listen to an orchestra?
Sorry if she says it in the video, I am French and I didn't understand everything 😂
when i listen to orchestra i see like a tanish orange calm colors.
i dont see it physically but if i close my eyes its like some yellow and orange in the bottom and some yellow or white lines on top, depending on the instruments
I "hear" brown/orange (or wood color) when I listen to some xd
it's interesting how for you all it has orangy vibes, like the wood the make some instruments from. i wonder if that's related
@@mistyminnie5922 - ideasthesia :)
This could make a really good anime.
Your lie in april?
the main character of terror in resonance has it
This was a really creative experience. I would definitely like to see more 360 videos. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
Ah, Vivaldi. What a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing this. I've told people I "see music" for many years and I've never heard of this before. People always looked at me odd when I shared this with them. As a designer, I always attributed this to being a musician. I thought it was a common thing for many years. But seeing the music has made my timing my motion designs to it, to allow me to create designs far more denser than other motion designers. I especially like timing designs to Mozart, and coincidentally I've been called "the Mozart of Motion Graphics" a few times because of how I would build my animations. Looking at the way Mozart would layer his compositions on paper made absolute sense to me. It's natural for me to do the same thing effortlessly with hundreds, often even thousands of independent elements moving in 3-dimensional space over time. And my knowing where every element was at any given place in time. And it's all possible since I can see the music.
Relato lindo
I read the comment below then "HOLY SH*T I CAN REALLY MOVE THE SCREEN"😂😂
It's supposed to be watched with a VR mask, but most people don't own VR masks.
I only just realized that
Ky&h You dont have to watch 360 videos with a VR headset.
I can't wait for 2040 when I'll use an Oculus Rift to watch every video in 360 60FPS 4K!
And you know, also the cure for AIDS or whatever
+George Washington loved this comment
+George Washington You won't have to wait that long
+George Washington 720°!
You can do that right now
+George Washington How dare you defile the name of one of our founders by having a picture of a sloth instead of him.
I play violin too... and now I kinda want synesthesia.
I have synesthesia and wish I could play violin
I don't have the type of synesthesia described in this video, but the food I was eating while I watched subtly changed in flavor as if the video was causing some kind of synesthesia effect. This was literally the trippiest experience ever.
Educational and entertaining! The best of combinations!
i read colors ?? like when i read a specific book theres this color palette that pops up in my head and its hella weird but it gives me some inspiration when i want to make fanart for that book!!!
kat Thats awesome omg... Mine is with voices and subjects like weekdays or numbers
kat
Similar to me! :3
ME TOO
I just see a scene of a certain place i've never been before, like I automatically make up a scene in my head and I can feel the ambience of it. But everyone has that I think.
Yeah lol
No. Not everyone is able to visualise/see in their mind. Even seeing from memory eludes them. I believe it's called Aphantasia.
Wow, that was amazing and really enlightening, an orchestral performance at night must be really pretty.
I have this and love doing paintings at night while listening to music. accepting where sound, color and our mind takes us is a good thing. If one learns to paint and make music it's fabulous. I love your music.
Is it me or the title is the opposite of what it should be? This video shows someone seeing sounds. not hearing colors..
+DNews
+jubin taghdir nope are u dyslexic?
PPD Productions not really lol
spaide98 lmao you don't know what its like
Exactly
Wow...how well made this really is! I couldn't help but face the back with the city. Looks so really a beautiful. It's crazy how synesthesia exits uwu
What if you have this and epilepsy? R.I.P
+Desto's World Haha omg. That'd be so cruel. Putting a person with this in a room and then put on dubstep.
Oh god XD
I think I just found my new experiment
epilepsy can provoke synesthesia , i had it for 6 years , it wasnt that terrible to me , maybe cause my level wasnt a high one
+Desto's World We can murder someone with music.
Little boy: I can see dead people
Little girl: I can see sound as colors
I can see both! 😊
@@ElyOtto do you use your powers for good?
Otto Dynamite Wow really? You can see the dead? Doesn’t it get scary for you?
I feel like this would make learning a new instrument so much easier
I see slashes of colors, but it's very transparent, and they are usually patterns and not just colored dots in a dark room. I still feel everything is dark, but it's again just slashes of colors, but they are very transparent and they are usually patterns. I know that everyone with chromo synesthesia sees different things, but this is what I see.
My vision of music ( as a synesthete myself ) is really different from hers. Not everybody is seeing just dots. I usually see colours surrounding me with no blank left. It's like a total immersion
For me, I get all sorts of qualities from music, but in relation to colors? It’s almost like looking at those swatches (?) of paint colors at the hardware store, but in my mind’s eye. Either that or I sense streaks and swirls.
Me too,I actually see colors when it’s pitch black. Especially when seeing a light with a pattern and close my eyes,it’s like I can see it even when my eyes are closed,but I don’t see the object where the light comes from. Example if this is when I just look at a light bulb (a really bright one) and close my eyes it would appear,but has a rainbow color to it.its really weird...
Dana Reignier-Tayar omg same I was searching a comment for this cause everyone is saying dots and patterns
They are called Phospenes, search it up on google
Damn I always wonder what colors taste like.
Crayons.
paint.
For me red tastes sweet green tastes nice too, but the best one is purple, it has such a nice vibrant taste to it :)
🍗
Nicole Bell nah they taste bad trust me
I have very weak audio-visual synesthesia, I wish mine was this vivid but it does feel like an incredible gift.
