At its best, music is a language. Proper reproduction of it makes it easier to understand & enjoy. Synesthesia has been described by both John McLaughlin and Robert Fripp, and experienced by composers Messiaen, Skryabin, and Liszt, along with others. Some say it is related to perfect pitch: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596158/ |
Truly inspirational thread, Thank You!
I've never expressed these experiences to my friends, I'm not sure they experience music on this level. I have never heard or read in this case, of people enjoying what is for me, the ultimate endpoint of musical enjoyment/interaction.
For me, I feel this deeper, as someone above described, "visceral" experiencing of music, is a reconnecting to something we as a modern society seem to have lost; a connection to something ancient, from a time when the human race was not fixated on superficiality, and more the pursuit of inner enlightenment, and knowledge. To a time when, to quote a book, can't even remember what book it was, but this line has stuck in my head; "When we all lived in the forest, and nobody lived anywhere else...."
Thanks again, this has made my day.
Respect!
Thanks it is a great joy to be the origin of a small joy indeed.... |

Your point about music being a language itself is deep and the fact that language is music itself go even deeper.... Thanks very much for this paper which confirm my experience and intuition.... Me deepest respect.... |
I was seeing sounds and music one time in Bellingham. Turned out it was the tea. Exceptionally good psilocybin up there. |
I am lucky then.... No need of psilocybin...
