Music/Colors
Hi Nagaire-
It's been a while since I've read the book. I remember more detailed commentary about color/taste/texture mixing, but I do remember some commentary on the mixing of colors and sounds too. There was some interesting historical info on artists working to come up with a system for matching colors and sounds (it was as individual as each artist, so no it didn't work out).
An example of color/texture synthesis, the person in my extended family with it reports each color she sees as having a literal feel to it. She learned as a young child to not talk about it. Even her mother thought she was just imagining things.
Or an example of a person quoted in the book, said while cooking, "This sauce needs more points."
Interesting, and much more than how I think about colors and music. I like to compare the two, but some folks actually physically synthesize the two. It would be interesting to learn if some others of our members have this, and how it has helped them as artists. The family member I mentioned is an artist, and a very successful one.
