Sound bites

Two fox cubs playing in our back yard this morning. Very young, little stubby tails and still clumsy enough to get tripped by a three brick wall. One of the benefits of summer flu driving out sleep.

And I have a new haircut, it’s really cool.

Read an interesting post on my list about the way people listen to music. Hearing shapes, I do that partly, curves just out of sight, used to have a similar thing with maths. But with music it’s more like feeling shapes, a sort of kinaesthetic, dancey thing. Some music hangs from the shoulders, spins and strobes epileptically and some is all in the hips or the feet or a turn of the head. Or stretches out, extending infinitely or is tight, driving down, all in one plane. Some has no dance.

I've read a couple other vidders talking about having synesthesia, it always sounds fascinating and the idea of songs etc. having colours has an intuitive rightness to it. I think I might recognise a colour as being right for a song but could never work it out on my own. I'm not sure I even think in colour properly, unless I'm trying to recall a specific image, things look like they do in peripheral vison all rods, no cones. My brain has yet to achieve primate status. :)

Doing There There for Illyria was a challenge for me because the song is green and gold. That's almost non sequitur, isn't it? But the pull of the metaphor was too strong, so I went for it.

I don't even know if I can see things the way you describe. We all see things differently, and some of us even more than others. *g*
