happened upon this thread on Freddie Mercury’s voice colours - I’ve copied in the question that started the conversation:
“As someone with synaesthesia, Freddie's voice has always been green. The whole songs have smatterings of other colours like red and gold, but ones like Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and Killer Queen are very much lime green. Does anyone else with synaesthesia have a similar experience?”
interesting! i love hearing what colors and such ppl with synaesthesia view things as. i don’t have synaesthesia, but i do like relating colors to things/concepts. for me, freddie’s voice in the 70s is a dark plum color, and the 80s is a bright red
March is dark purple and matte black. 39' is blue green, and cobalt blue
Isn’t this a curious conversation. I hadn’t thought much about how diverse our experiences could be - it seems like the physical senses of hearing and seeing would be the same. But it turns out that there is seeing colours when hearing music, tasting something when hearing words, feeling touch or phsycial sensations when hearing words. This applies to 4% of the population. Doesn’t it make you wonder if it is someone you already know.
This is the likely final version of the salt montage image - it has been combined with a Queen Anne’s Lace floer picture to get this montage.
