- Melissa McCracken thought everyone associated colors with music the same way she did. But she soon realized that her senses were unique. The Kansas City-based artist is a synesthete, and she is able to translate sound into vivid paintings. Talk about seeing the world in a different light.

Painting songs
I felt this LMAO (I'm a synesthetic myself)
Painting sounds
Imagine making a track and hiring her to do the cover art for it, based on your track.
God that's such a good idea
@@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork a pretty puddle.
Imagin her doing a pink Floyd cover!
@@wgsmcw2012 yessssd
My track would be... black. Just black lmao
These are the best abstract painings. It doesnt look like someone just randomly splashed colors
Not like the 12 years ""prodigy"" that i know, huh...
Unlike that 12 year old ‘prodigy’ who sells her art for 35k
zeit geist same
It's not random sounds actually HAVE colors
I could draw a lobster drawn weirdly we’re it dosent look like it and that would probably sell of 50k
Ngl I want to see her paint 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by queen.
Yes!!!
Good idea!
Yep

I have chromasthesia too, it’s sky blue, a darker shade of blue, a forest green and a yellow-orange. It’s kind of all over the place as you might imagine.
It’s just so crazy how human brain works.
Maria Gorodnia it really is.
Maria Gorodnia indeed
It's even crazier when the human brain goes horribly wrong but you end up with something like synesthesia instead of something actually bad. Fascinating.
PBJelly yeah it’s pretty crazy
Right!!!
"There are songs that I hate but I like how they look a little bit." Yes!
Yep! When she said that I thought, "I'm not sure why or how, but I know exactly what you mean."
Beautiful
I identify with this so much, given I have the same synesthesia. It can be super obnoxious to hear some songs, but they can bloom and curl in oddly pretty ways. The brain is a fascinating thing.
I feel like I can compare this to movies that have excellent visuals but terrible storytelling/plot
She kind of has a 10 sense :'D
Imagine being like:
“What’s your favorite color?”
“Jazz”
Edit: people are mad at me so I edited this lol

😂

Pratishtha Bajracharya thanks, I forgot
Now this, this is real abstract art! She has actually put in the effort to express her synethesic visions onto a canvas, to create something surreal and expressive. This. Is. Absolutely. Amazing.
Agreed. It looks extremely detailed, even though not a fan of abstract
I don’t see this as a disability, I see this as an ability. One that I would love to have.
Its not a disability, its just a different way of perceiving things.
Through the Telescope! no stupid it's synestesia or something like that not bad but genetic
biya hero I knew that, I have it. No reason for name calling. I wasn’t being rude. You are.
A condition is not a disability. A condition with genetic bases still isn't a disability.

Wow.. my parents said my imagination is just to high when I said I can 'see' colors from sound and people, after a while I think like that too, but it turns out it isn't huh?
I just realised my condition called synesthesia 2 years ago, and when I told my family and friends, many of them didn't believe it.
It's great to see someone else like me and she even create something magnificent with it! She's amazing!!
Theres a lot of people like you, youre not alone.
And there are also a lot of people wanting synesthesia, Im not alone
@@yujinarukunnn7222 me too ! i want to see a colors of beautiful music.
@@goodguy9555 yep. As an artist it seems like a very cool ability to have and experiment with... like what if I draw 2 of relatively the same drawing but listen to different music while coloring it, while incorporating the colors of the music into it. How different would it look?
I know right i am the same with my family. But then when i told my bff about it, we learned that we are the same^^
@@kittenmimi5326 you won't draw 2 same drawings.there will be at least slight difference hidden or dominant.
I love it when an abstract painting looks very intentional instead of just random colours
Yeah
Many abstract paintings are very jarring to look at cuz the colors are very erratic.
This is modern art executed correctly
Is anyone going to talk about how these pictures look like space?
What if you could somehow convert the light waves of space into sound waves. I wonder what that would sound like.

@@neilbenedictgueta3822 This is why people hate redditors.
So, if someone else had the same "disability", would their paintings look the same if they're really "painting what they hear"?
Would she be able to re create the same painting from only hearing the same song without having the original for reference?
No because everyone's synethesia is different. To me every individual instrument have their own shape and color and it shapeshifts to the rhythm like living energy.
No, you could show two artists a landscape or tell them "draw a simple house" and these would look different too :)
@@derrickjohnson9692 this was my first question too
Lol I didn't even think of that
I love this type of abstract art. It looks like time and thought was put into it. It isn’t just like laying a canvas on the floor and dumping random colors on it. These have style.
Yeah
People think that abstract art are just paintings that are random
But this is what abstract art should be
I think it'd be amazing to have a museum set up to where you can scan a barcode at the painting and listen to the music the artist was listening to at the time. Whether they have an app that you can download, or it just forwards to the music artists UA-cam version, or if they hand out mp3 players you have to return at the end. They've done stuff like that for descriptions of exhibits so I know it can be done.
Now i think you can make a new app about that and everyone would agree with you. Very nice that you thought that out
All youd need is a QR code that links to it on UA-cam. Plenty of websites can generate them based on links for free. And there are hundreds of qr scanner apps on app stores. It's such an easy thing to do I'm surprised she hasnt done it yet
@@bvckroomreactor The only issue I forgot to mention was the necessity of a museum with free wifi or the use of non internet dependent methods. I'm aware phones have a data usage that allows internet connection without wifi, but not everyone (me included) has a smartphone. I did go to an art museum back in high school and they had mp3's that had stories to do with each of the paintings as you walked through.
OrderOfGamers good idea!!
Smart!!
Her color play is mesmerizing. It's like an abstract paint of the song itself. Creating sound for one's eyes. This is just gorgeous.
thats the fucking point seargent
That's actually the point. She isn't just imagining those colors, she's seeing them in her head in those patterns due to her condition.
And it’s a real condition
I think some people can taste colors
1000th like
2:28 I've fallen head over heels in love with this song/painting. I wish I could see music, or hear light and colors; what a wonderful gift she has! 🎨🖌️🎶
Me too.
That painting is Astonishing.
I can taste things I see and see colours in numbers and letters.
@@autumnrose3548 I'm so jealous! I wish I could experience that, even if only for a day. Amazing!
Imagine if she's listening to songs after smoking some weed, damn her brain would be exploring the galaxy 😂😂😂

oooo yeaaaaa
Or DMT with Joe Rogan.
I have synesthesia and smoking weed definitely takes it to a whole new level

#dontdodrugskids
man... what if album covers were these paintings... that would be sick as frick
mochi_ cat I like your tøp reference
Melanncholy sorry i just assumed it was.
I am curious as to what a genre like death metal would be. I would expect black and red with harsh staggering brushwork
its yellow for me
Kat Mcnain i think it would be green? like a dark green?
yellow green like the ambiance of a passing storm
its mostly hot red ,neon orange, black for me. i see flashes when i hear it. but the sound of violin is mostly like a colourful ribbon to me.
from what i read the colours that people with synesthesia see are different from person to person with the condition. They aren't quite sure why but it could be environmental influences or their personal connection to each colour etc.
Ok I'm an artist, I do not like abstract art, because personally I don't feel it ties to anything well enough to deliver a feeling to more than a small group of people. But Good Lord this is amazing, you just see it and it makes sense, the blending of the color and the use of depth is so absolutely stunning it is freaking incredible. This is an artist whose career I would be very interested in following.
Truth is that I actually sense and feel something when I look at these paintings of hers rather than when I look at the paintings of a casual abstract artist.
I just want to send her my favorite songs and see what happens
Wuh-huW something like want her to make a youtube channel with that content and make a request😂🌝

Wow..I have synesthesia as well...but honestly, I could never put what I see on paper. It’s vivid in my brain, but when I want to represent it on paper, It disappears. It’s very frustrating.
High five.
It's like a dream isn't it? 😂
So do you really see it or are you imagining seeing the colors? I’m always so curious about synesthesia, it’s so fascinating
One of my closest friends has this, she is also an amazing artist. I love her to death and she’s amazing
That is no disability.
That is a gift from the heavens
EXACTLYYYYY
Synesthesia is not a disability. It's a superpower :P
But in all seriousness, I don't think it's considered a disability at all.
I have an issue and people say that to me all the time, I want you to know it goes both ways. I’m stuck in my world and it hurts sometimes, I can’t go two days without it.
NorthernStal The famously unknown penguin singing is also a God given gift. Mariah even admits it. But art is another one. All of forms of art that create beauty. Beautiful art goes far beyond philosophy which is why those who create it are called geniuses.
I never knew I had it for 30+ yrs. and can tell you it kept me from pursuing many avenues involving music and art. Not being able to work with conventional ideas of what is a marketable norm for being a professional artist. If I had known what it was then, I'd have gone another way in life. Not a gift, frustration and a mere novelty as seen by others.
She’s gonna be super famous one day. Her art and technique are amazing.
And I love the fact that she id left-handed
Kinda doubt it cuz art isn’t really out there no more
@Tom The Cat No not at all dude. This is exaclty what wassily kandinsky was doing 80 years ago
Yes
@@user-zl5gi8sv7u What she does has absolutely nothing to do with Kandinsky, visually or conceptually.
When I listen to music I think: 'I can make an animation out of this!' and then plan out an entire animation x3

Same, while I listen to a song I see my characters acting, doing things

Two different people with synesthasia see completely different colours. This isn’t necessarily what a song looks like if we all had her ability, it’s just what her brain perceives it to look like based on how her own brain is wired.

I'd love to see her Paint mans not hot
madnesmya07 OMG I AM DYING LAUGHING 😂😂😂
Haha yeah
I LITTERALLY BURSTED A BIG "AHAAAAAAAAAA" lmao :'D
Nah mate, she can only paint music. xD
I would imagine it as a lot of bullet-looking things lol.
To be honest i don’t understand her paintings but they are soooo pretty
Because I also have this type of synesthesia, I understand her paintings really well. It's her perspective that differs a bit from mine, but I can relate to the general idea of the painting and understand it easily.
Gacha Potter ok maybe this will help you better. Have you ever watched rachatouille? Well there are a couple of scenes where the rach taste food and in his brain it turns into a colorful display of life color lights. It’s the sensation, texture and taste of each food that in his mind transplantes to vivid colors
I have synesthesia too, not to the extent that she does, but when it shows paintings that match with a song, I can say definitely that yes, that is exactly what it looks like. Especially the jazz songs
@@nsr5961 XD
Finally an abstract art with effort and meaning not just some splashes a 12 year old do
The only abstract paintings that looks beautiful and has “rhythm”
OMG YES I HAVE THIS. I have specific visuals for specific sounds or beats and it's so hard to explain. Glad she was able to do this
I wish I had this kind, it would make me such a better musician. But I only have grapheme-color and taste-color
i had this when i was young but as i got older i kind of ignored it and now its seemingly for the most part for hours and hours and most of the day its just gone, poof! although i suspect it is not the same thing because synthesis seems to never stop from what I've read. I WISH I STILL DID, EVEN THOUGH IM SURE IT CAN GET DISTRACTING AT TIMES AND LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE HAS ITS PROS AND CONS, BUT I LOVE IT I WISH I HAD IT PERMANANtly sorry didn't realize caps was on didn't mean to shout lol the only time i have experienced this was on LSD multiple many many times and i was always sad to see it fade away. also on DMT but that is so brief never on any other hallucinogens maybe a little on ayusaca sorry wrong spelling
I'm actually worried a tiny bit because I've never read of anyone else having something like this that left them later on in life????!!!???!!! i do wish it would come back though...although maybe it would be distracting while your playing? but i don't think so i think it would be just more to experience. like the difference between watching black and white films always and then here comes technicolor. oh well i can play quite a few instruments and got a scholarship to julliard so its obviously a big part of my life, but not sure if i would trade that ability to see in color again permanently? no, not sure at all...maybe...i wish i could remember it all better but it was just great i remember finding out not everyone sees like that and getting weird looks when remarking on things i saw, and i felt bad for about a day, then i just felt lucky and like i wouldn't change it, because it was unique and it was part of me. my mom thought i had a brain tumor lol she was terrified so i got very scared, luckily they didn't find anything and it was just another thing about you like your hair color or food preference etc. i miss it from what i remember but to be fair its been a long time so nostalgia may be operating a lot here, but still, she is lucky and beautiful and what a gift, and what an artist!!!! it just goes to show you that everyone's brain is wired differently...keep up the beautiful work i remember dreaming and all i remembered when i woke up was like a little me like a light and my footsteps dancing in mid air and every time i took a step it was like a stairway but not a stairway suspended in the air and colors flowing like ribbons just kind of meeting my steps and feeling weightless or dreams where i wasn't there physically just colors i still sleep with music playing and a star maker on my ceiling my niece loves it i also remember watching the old fantasia and showing my sister like it partly explained what i was trying to say in a small way and i always loved punk! i grew up after the late 70s early 80s but i always loved that genre and for halloween i wanted to be well i couldn't describe it a lot of the time what i saw so it was frustrating. and teachers would think i was making up stories and call my family and they'd say well its just a thing she's had since she was a baby as long as i could talk at least, i don't remember being a baby.like most people don't of course
Same, but I don't know if I have synesthesia. Like, an orchestra is a bunch of little lines varying in thickness depending on the instrument's, thing! I can't explain it well. :/
Blue Diamond I've read a book called A Mango Shaped Space and it's really great book, it's about a girl who sees sounds, and it really changed my life. It really shows how different people can be and its an amazing book. I think people like you are beautiful even if people think you aren't because you are different!

I see the colors of your sarcasm
I have synesthesia. In my case, I see what I hear, but I can't hear what I see. Meaning: I see colors and pictures when I listen to music, but I don't hear sounds when I see pictures.
She inspires me, I love abstract paintings, especially ones that aren’t just splashed paint but is actually painted by hand and you can tell it isn’t splashed paint. I am starting to get into oil painting and I got supplies yesterday so I am about to start my first oil painting. Both, Ivan Seal and Melissa McCracken inspire me very much!
Absolutely beautiful. I can almost hear the music looking at those paintings.
Her paintings are beautiful! Very dynamic and full of movement. I love the contrast between the soft, blurry bits and the bold, rough textured parts.
Yeah I know. Unlike all those modern art.
She also understands the color theory and all her work are vivid and stunning!
As someone with synesthesia similar to this, I want to shed some light on what daily life is like. I have audio-visual/sensory synesthesia. Which means that see sound, but also have nerve sensations from it. In some ways it definitely is an ability. Learning musical instruments comes very easily, and it helps guide my process in the fine arts. But in most ways, it has developed into a disability for me. I don't have a drivers licence because the distractions I see and feel along the road make driving too scary. But the most crippling aspect of this is something I once thought was a skill. Being able to notice the slightest things hidden in sound, I could tell what people were really thinking as they spoke. At first it was both fun and an asset. But in recent years I have become isolated. Knowing just how many people close to me don't really care about me they way they act like they do... Seeing that it's not just me, but so many live with friendships that are secretly fake. On one hand, it is good in that I know they people I give my time to truly love me. But I was happier before I noticed these things. This isn't what everyone's experience with this is. Finding truths and lies in sound is something I worked on for years, but it was only with this 'disability' that it became possible.
What would be cool is if you pursued a career in law. If you can tell whether or not someone is lying, you could help put guilty people behind bars and release the falsely imprisoned. You are a real-life superhero, and you can change the world.

@@anasofiatorres4818 I do appreciate your interest. For the record, there is a lot of shimmering red tones. But I will also say that this is a question that bugs me. The first question anyone asks when they find out I'm like this is, "What color is my voice?" This gets to me because there is really no reason to know. You, and the person you're asking, don't get anything out of this. If you do come across someone with audio-visual synesthesia; I suggest asking them about what their favorite songs to watch are. Or what the weirdest looking sound is. This at least helps you learn more about the person, and makes them feel like you actually care to get to know them.

I’ve seen beautiful pictures, and I’ve heard emotional guitar solos.
Coming from someone whos played guitar for 9 years (and is not much of painter), Stevie Ray Vaughan never plugged into an amp, he plugged into the deepest part of his soul, and that is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen. It almost brings a tear to my eye.
Thank you for sharing! Amazing work! I bless you with love and light!
I am also a synesthete. I did not not until I was about 24 or 25. I see numbers as colors but also with characteristics. It made it extreamly hard to do math as a child because I could not do it like everyone else.
@@Av-mu3dz so can I, almost everyone can because taste and smell are very linked. You might just have a very strong sense of smell.

The voice of Dimash Kudaibergen, a young Kazakh singer, has been described as one of the most colourful voices of recent years and most likely of our lifetime. I think his colourful voice would be beautifully translated into a masterpiece by you.

To be honest, the reason why I clicked on this is because this is art. But, I started watching this and I felt quite bad for her but at the same time this is beautiful. This has given me a lot of ideas and inspirational thoughts. So, creative and fantastic. I hope this girl gets the best of her life!
This is beautiful! What an artist
The 'At last' painting had a soft whoosh feel about it. Beautiful
This is such a fascinating idea. Wow, the art is amazing like everything goes well together. Beautiful!
Nothing is wrong with you girl, you're an advanced human being
How is literal brain damage being advanced? From what I hear, this is an incredibly annoying condition since you're constantly seeing colours as you go through day to day life.
Inklan Utterfield Synesthesia isn’t brain damage. I myself am a Synesthete- I have the same thing that she has, and for the most part you don’t constantly realise that you’re seeing colours in you’re head. It’s more subconscious. I personally don’t find it annoying at all. But then again it can be hard to understand for someone who doesn’t experience it.
Bárbara Monteza ok it’s not that cool chillz our
*though i'm not a huge fan of abstract art, gosh i cannot stop admiring those paintings! the use of interesting colors, just the overall vibe of them is damn amazing. they look so magical, funky and ethereal. i feel like people who have synesthesia shouldn't think of it as a "disability." because it's not! it's more like an ability, having a really cool superpower.* ✨
Those paintings are absolutely beautiful!
Oh wow ,darlin you are magical, I look at your work and I hear the songs, thank you so very much
Absolutely stunning work, Melissa. I am moved.
Incredible art, you can really see the music in the textures
Absolutely wonderful !
I have this no joke. I see exactly what she sees. My fav is pop music cause I love pink.💖🎵🎶🎼
Can you elaborate a bit? I guess I was skeptical... You see the type of thing she's painting? Externally with your eyes? Or, in your head?
Ungha Bungha It hard to explain since I had this my entire life and dont really know whats it like to live without it. But I'll try my best. I see it inside my mind but sometimes it appers infront of me. Im dont know if we see the same thing but the way she paints it and explain it its the same.
@@balazsluca637 Interesting. I've seen the "black dog" hallucination that truck drivers report seeing on long drives. Big black/purple shadow running across the road. Do you remember when you learned that this was happening?
Please describe Elvis' voice :) ❤️
Ana Sofía Torres It's defenetly not just one colour, it's brown, gold a little bit of blue with lots of diffrent colours and shads, with a marbleing through out. My fav bit is when sometimes he sings theres like a white zig zaging streak ( I'm not to sure how to desribe it ) moving across every colour.
I really wonder what Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles would look like if she painted it
Yessss
Look at jack b coulter on insta think he did that song
I have synesthesia, and if I painted it it would be a swirly motion with lots of red, a tiny bit of green, different shades of blue, a little black and purple. -this is for the main chorus
@@grbacky for me it would be this mix of purple, grey, pink, yellow, orange, blue, kinda like the sunset on a bit cloudy day
Marina Soldo to me sign of the times has a very light green background an the major colours appart from that are white and grey. At the end when Harry styles sings higher it definitely has some shades of red and pink that are mixed with the white :)
The patterns are very round and smooth and the texture is a bit harsh
i really love these artworks, they may seem a bit random but there is a lot of rythm and flow to them alike the songs- they aren't just chaotic mashups of colors; they are aesthetic
Now THIS is modern art that's worth 15+ mil. Btw, I want to "hear" what she thinks of Rap God.
yes!! gorgeous
No
No art should cost that much lmao. They are gorgeous and probably value at multiple thousands each
@@mirandazhang1359 ye just like an art sold for 47million by making ketchup and asquigly lines
@@mirandazhang1359 Lmao ikr

Now I'm interesting to know what she sees for classical music.
All of her paintings are very beautiful, breathtaking.
Omg not only is this gift amazing but these are visually stunning paintings too!!!
Funny how an ability is viewed as something being wrong with her. Nothing is wrong with her, her wires are not crossed wrong. She has a special ability, maybe its an evolution!
no are wires are generally crossed wrong that is why we get this lol Kandinsky had it so hardly a evolution more just random.
The Face Painter Actually, it is wrong. It is a mistake. Humans are not supposed to be "cross wired". Just because she can do something nice with it doesnt mean its not a mistake
Actually it depends on your definition of evolution. what you're talking about is the scientific meaning of evolution whereas I feel like this person meant that this ability might be accounted as progress within the race. Did you know that the rate of people being born with autism is increasing exponentially each year and that their specific talents and ways of thinking are not only being widely accepted but also being looked upon in awe? so much that there is a possibility that 100 years from now on autism might become the new normal. this by itself is a sign of evolution.
"Having synesthesia isn't distracting or disorienting. It adds a unique vibrance to the world I experience." (Taken from her website)
Why are you all so quick to make every slight deviation from the norm seem like something bad?
I don't have enough scientific knowledge about synesthesia to tell you where it comes from, but calling a person's traits, physical or psychological wrong or a mistake is incredibly damaging. She may not be "normal", normal referring to the majority of the population, but deviations and mutations are part of nature and evolution and therefore normal in themselves.
I’ve actually gotten to meet her in person and she’s so cool!!
you're a talented and amazing artist!
She thinks something is wrong with her brain... this is such an authentic genuine gift!
