Person: *Has synesthesia and epilepsy*
Music: I’m about to end this whole man’s career
Oh my gosh, that'd actually be really unfortunate. Oof
D:
Only if they have photosensitive epilepsy. I have epilepsy but can handle strobe lights.
I was thinking the same thing xD
@@alyssabullock6421 you have the gift to make beautiful displays of light but evrytime you look at it you have a seizure
Kaitlyn’s music teacher: *plays a note*
Kaitlyn: *raises hand*
Teacher: yes Kaitlyn?
Kaitlyn: Play that again.
Teacher: ...why?
Kaitlyn:
I liked the color.
sister snatched well the idea of the joke is cool but you didnt execute it quite right
Humour is subjective, I thought it was executed perfectly.
Lmao...wait...
My name is also
Kaitlyn.
And I....I also see colors when I listen to music sometimes. 🥰
I do this to my band all the time and it pisses them right off
this is kinda a beautifull comment
She's a software engineer and a neuroscientist with a degree in musics and has synesthesia? If that's not talent and hard work I don't know what is.
That's genius! Bless this girl
And she can play violin!
@Callen Valkyra I believe they were talking about it as if it was something that could limit her like a disability.
@McNugget Fan How?
@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.
Band Teacher: "What's the second note?"
Person With Synthesia: "Purple."
Band Teacher: 👁️👄👁️
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.
I have literally said something like this in class once.
I can taste colours too. I ate an orange this morning
You made my nostalgia go away because I watched a nostalgic video before watching this ome XD
Let me breathe lmfao XDDD
EvitaBee YT 😏
I can drink colors. I just drink café.
i had some greens earlier
Imagine seeing this in an orchestra. It'd be like seeing an aurora borealis. Beautiful!
@RedZygarde may I see it?
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.
@Showtime Sheela *hmm... no.*
mine would be a rave...
@@paneenees5304 Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!
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.
The title says "hearing colours" when the vieo is about "seeing sounds"
True
there's also the opposite. I can hear colours. Purple sounds like an electric piano
Otto Dynamite Cool OoO
Exactly 😂💔💔
Otto Dynamite What color sounds like an electric guitar?? Oh and what color sounds like a bass? That’s so cool.
So she has kinda perfect pitch ‘cause she can determine notes by colors since it’s the same all the time
Well actually she might as well not. I have the same condition and I do not have a perfect pitch sadly
music exam: *wait. That illegal*
Exactly. I have chromesthesia and perfect pitch. Doesn’t happen for everyone though
She also gets a personal firework show every time she hears a sound or music
Briggsmeboi YT and she don't need flashlights😂
**misses a note**
_"Damn, wrong colour!"_
bleh lol
Should ask someone who has that
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
Yes its exactly like that!!
this is actually exactly how it works for me! I'm a musician with perfect pitch and I owe it mainly to colours :D
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)
So people with synesthesia have a built-in visualizer? Neat
"When you lower the music in your car to see better"
I can't 🤣🤣🤣
lol makes sense
"I can't hear you without my glasses on!"
DaslyG actually I find it extremely difficult to focus when I have my glasses off so this is kinda true because I can’t conversate well with them off😂
I don't think it's quite like that.
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.
Morosely Melancholy my thoughts exactly
Not really but it'll be really cool
RATATOUILLE IS NOT THE RAT'S NAME
His name is Remy, you uncultured swine.
That's truly amazing. I'd never imagine how normal that is to see in everyday life.
Her: (playing music to show what it’s like to see them)
Me: *spinning around the 360 video*
Same bruh
For sure 😂
Me who didn’t realize it’s a 360 video until now
@@Violetgalaxyshimmer33 haha, there you go 😂
imagine how *glorious* playing bohemian rhapsody with synesthesia would be
As someone who has this, I can assure you it is beautiful
This is what i was thinking
so imagine the colors of the rainbow constantly exploding in front of you
@@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
Guy: purple
Me: omg i hear a color
xd
thats some rare synesthesia right there and only 0.000001% of people have it
mohammadblox XZ lmao😂
Lol
san from ateez?
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.
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.
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!"
I PAUSED IT BUT IT STILL MOVES AFTER BEING PAUSED
OH MY GOD
There are other kinds of 360 videos on youtube, you can go look them up, it's fun.
I didn't even know this kind of videos existed!
@@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.
😲😲😲
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
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"
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?
Beautiful video and great approach!
National Geographic I came here from a National Geographic video! (The one about the ice instruments)
u now have 360 likes on your comment

National Geographic woah
National Geographic IS HERE NOW IT’S A PARTY!!!
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.
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.
This is really exciting. It makes the excited sounding music feel more exciting.
Title is "Whats It Like To Hear Colors?" and the runtime is 4:20
You did this on purpose...
but 4x6 is 240+20=260 not 360 :O i didnt get it ;d
Alois Trancy but it's quite possible that Neo was on some shit himself while writing his comment tho
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 😛😅
It's good that you're innocent...I mean I am. People who think like that are going to regret it later
aaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH
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
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.
The editor deserves a raise.
I could only imagine what it would be like to be at a heavy metal concert with this condition.
+Cameron Savinkoff Seizure warning?
I have it, its amazin
+Enky Emeraldescu Sure you do.
***** Lol man 1 în 23 people have it its not like a extremly rare thing
I see more shapes and colors for every sound I hear
+Cameron Savinkoff Even better, listening to dubstep now has a neon light show associated with it.
I am actually kind of jealous.
Why? It's really nothing special...
Nadia Thomas lol u didnt just say that.. Seeing sounds as colors isnt special? Please. Its beautiful
Don't be
Same. Seeing sound?? That's amazing.
-Fantasy is my Reality- you dont understand
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. 😂🤣😂
*Imagine not having to work on intonation.*
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
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.
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.
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!!
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
@@whyisitspicy5596
don't be so quick to judge. there's a lot you don't know about blind people.
@Taylor Gh
that is not at all what i was implying. why are you so confrontational? i was simply instructing a person to not be quick to judge what is, in actuality, a valid question.
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
@@nienke3602 wow your spelling is perfect... SYNESTHESIA
@@kai.moonlight well... yeah. It's almost as if i said that in the comment 🤔
@@nienke3602 im sorry for being rude gahahah having a long day hahaha have a nice one!!
Oh wow, this is beautiful ! 😍❤💜
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.
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
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???
Mine to its crazzyyyy
@@abbybayer9815 it doesnt for me
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!
This is the most worthied video I've ever watched in UA-cam. Thank you to let us experience what you've seen so far.
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.
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
Absolutely MIND BLOOOOOOOWING
I got emotional so beautiful it is.
Lol. I my gosh. I think I have synesthesia. Mine's different though. I see different vignette patterns around my vision, depending on the harmonic frequency interval. It's why I can always tune a ukulele perfectly if I have one note right. G to C is a big square thing, C to E is a square half the size, and C to A is a pentagon, but it looks like a flower, and has smooth corners.
I CAN MOVE DA SCREEN WAT
360° Video man
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
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.
I genuinely appreciate the time you took to recreate this for the rest of us to experience. You are a highly skilled and magnificent Violinist! Thank you for such a profound experience! (PS -> I experienced something like this once, it was on 6 hits of LSD. Chemistry is amazing!!! #aintittho)
Huh I guess my synesthesia is different and the colours are really in my mind instead of being face to face, like its less severe
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
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!
Is nobody gonna talk about how beautiful her playing is?!
people with synesthesia is living life as if we live under a constant fireworks ..lovely...
im pretty it can be distracting while driving..
but while resting...its the best.
Her voice is such a pretty purple
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 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
Thank you. That was an amazing experience❣️
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

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
Am I the only person who normally can see light through their eyelids, sees flashing colors and dots when the close their eyes and/or squeezes them shut, and even when I look somewhere I see some kind of flash of color, if I pay a bit of attention. Is this normal?
Idk, I have that too :(
I'm pretty sure everyone has that lol
It's just light going through your eyelids, not a problem.
I think what you mean is called phosphene but I’m not sure. But everyone has it so it’s just normal
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.
Did not read the vr 360 bit and was really freaked out when I moved my iPad and the video moved
EvilBeagle Lol same I was like “What the heck is going on.”
SO DID I OMG I didn't even notice til I read your comment🤣🤣🤣
Omg same i didnt notice it until i red about your comment😂
Manjima Paul
Ahaha would be cool xD
this is wonderful it opens the mind to this concept. It is not an illness. It is a greatness
Such an amazing video, so touching and the performer did an awesome job. It gave me goosebumps. I can feel her when it comes to synesthesia because i have it too for sounds and smells. When i hear a letter, number, word or sentence i see its colour. Curiously the letters don't have a fixed colour when they are combined with a different letter combination to form a specific word. They change their colour depending on the word or sentence. I used this ability to learn the alphabet when i went to elementary school. I can see the colours of the smells too. For example when my University classmates experienced fear or anxiety before an exam i could smell their fear and see the purplish-like cloud this smell had.
Wow, at the end when they switched back to "normal mode" it felt so depressing x)
Ummm... I'm a bit late, but the colors didn't go away. They moved to the back of the screen. Ya know, since it's a 360° video..
justsaiyan05 I think they mean the part at 4:05
Sopph Dallevés oh
I’ve never wanted a condition so bad in my life till now 😔
Same 😭
Same lmfao
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.
Everything about this video is cool. Being able to step in the shoes of a Synesthete, being able to look around, I feel like I’m living in the future xD
And what I really love is when people relate colours with feelings or emotions and express them through music... That's really wonderful and for what I fall for... Like Taylor Swift's "Red" and Halsey's "Colors"...
Superb work guys. Such originality. Thumbs up from us.
Alltime Conspiracies I
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
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.
You play so beautifully! Was in awe the whole video
oh look! yet another thing that makes everyone else cooler than me XD
Haha same...well, everyone cool in their own ways. You're cool too
joannaz explain jake paul
your soo kewl you are the uncoola
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. 🤗
That's amazing! You can probobly remember things alot easier and it's so beautiful!! I know it can be overwhelming, but you're really lucky!
Seeing those colors over city sky and listening to that song.... Just made sense!
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

Its cool, but sometimes it can be really over whelming. Plus, u can get bullied a lot. Try reading a Mango-Shaped space by Wendy Mass
Want to experience synesthesia temporarily? Well, get some drugs jk
Edit: Psychedelic drugs can actually make you experience some sort of synesthesia
I feel like it'd get annoying real quick
I know right!!
Awesome! Definitely make more!
Hey Discovery, have you met National Geographic on the comment section. They too are here too 😁
Thank you so much for letting us experience this.
You're gift is so wonderful ❤️
Would you see colors from your own singing? And would you be able to light up a dark room but only for your eye sight?
I don't need sleep i need answers
Echo location gives an image of surroundings. Many blind people can use it with tongue clicks. So possible but unsure, the lights seemed like vision obstructions in the video
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
it is so cool videos can be 360 now it's awsome
+DiamondKiller Playz Right?!
Now they just have to make the quality better then it'll be perfect
+Hitman 4Hire 4k at 60fps wasn't enough for you? How?
Looks like 240p with extra grain added despite playing at 4k 60fps. Having the video in 360° is wrecking the detail. Really hope google fixes that..
+空白 That's because they're cramming so much more data into the same resolution.
You're an amazing person. You are successful and you inspire people along your way.
It made me feel like different & surprised:D AWESOM!
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 feel like this would make learning a new instrument so much easier
Back in Winter 2015, I recieve my first smartphone from my dad along with my mother. It came with a Sampsung VR Headset and I recall seeing this educational video on a violinist able to mentally visualize colors when playing a note, which was such an awesome to me back then! As of now, I had met another person Zoom for a college open house who has the same ability! We are both going to be music majors, but with different focuses!
Best video ever
I wish i had this, it would make playing my cello much easier
Imagining listening to something with ~2,000 BPM tho.
+justin King Wow what you are doing is like saying "I wish i had my legs amputated, It would make cooking much easier."
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.
Wtf is this piece of music gave me goosebumps
Antonio Vivaldi's Summer
Wow incredible video and she is so so talented!
Her playing is so beautiful 🥰
