As a graphic designer, I can put on certain music to inspire me (not folk - I just want to play along to it and listen). For some reason heavily layered sythesiser music works a treat with its rich textures and wide soundscapes. Especially worth mentioning are Ulrich Schnauss, Talvin Singh and Jean-Michelle Jarre.

Here's a link to mixed signals , an onlise source for synesthetes (which I suspect is extremely common).

Thanks for the info.I will definitely check it out.

Part of what I learned in relation to this is that when your sound is truly correct if you are a person inclined to experience this you will.
It was and is a pleasant experience for sure.I can understand why to some degree people use drugs for the pleasure of the colors they see.
By no means am I saying it is a wise thing to do though.

At least I know now that I am not going crazy.Well maybe I am but that is not a symptom.:-))
