Synesthesia
That was the word I was trying to think of--like anesthesia but with a different prefix. I've done that, too, as long as I can remember. When I was a little kid, the days of the week all had colors, music (I especially remember Waltz of the Flowers and the Firebird Suite) evoked entire scenes with vivid colors. In fact the original theme or intent of the piece couldn't have mattered less. I even remember an argument I had with a friend in elementary school about what color each day was! I couldn't believe someone could see it differently.
I wonder if most artists experience things this way? Anyone else have synethesia out there?
Thanks, Jean.
