Hi all,

The knack of "seeing" music or smells or other variations of crossovers between senses is referred to as synesthesia. This came up in a thread sometime in early 1999, and I know the thread was still active in March 99. I have always "seen" music and I see the images as animations in my mind's eye - moving shapes and colours, making patterns which change with the musical patterns. It can get quite intricate at times especially with descant harmonies or counter-pointed melody or percussion parts.

I'll see if I can find the thread again, but meanwhile try searching the net for the word "synesthesia" because there is some interesting information out there.
