I have on rare occasions seen fucking colored streaks from a guitar during a session. I mean FROM the guitar. FROM IT. I've also seen artists depict colors emanating from the SOURCES of music... WTF?!
It doesn't even fucking make sense! Why the fuck does the brain place the color at the KNOWN SOURCE of the music, rather than as a general hue, or at random spots, like when you are hit in the eye or some shit? This is clearly some kind of high-level perception, but can it be replicated in different people? WTF.
Musical pitch is also fucked up: it has a perceptual HEIGHT... what's up with THAT shit? Is this pitch/height relationship subjective, or is it the same between different individuals?
What is going on?
