Looking Outwards

Wow ok so when Golan brought up my synesthesia  in class the other day a couple of folks were asking me about it, which always happens, but I’m never super good at explaining it beyond “song x is colors a b and c” or something. Mainly the problem is that I can’ t show people what it looks like inside my head when I’m listening to stuff.
But this.
This.
This is what music feels like.

I’m not exactly clear on what’s going on beyond the fact that the video is being distorted in response to the sound (I tried to dig deeper into the sources but several of them are in Japanese and as much of that as I can speak I still can’t read it super well). From what I can tell from watching the video, the percussion seems to be having the most visible effect on the distortion of the image, but I don’t know enough about music or programming to say whether that’s a music thing or a deliberate programming choice.

Either way it’s rad and fun to look at.
