water in the bath "feels" different colors depending on water temperature
ReplyDeleteI feel/see the same.
ReplyDeleteDoes only seeing shapes and textures moving around also count as chromesthesia or are these two separate types: sound-shape and sound-texture?
ReplyDeleteI also feel like I can feel the texture, but only where the sound is coming from, not all over my body. When I listen to music with headphones, the textures and shapes are like inside of my head because that's where the music is playing.
When a speaker above me talks or plays music, that's also where the textures and shapes are, but I still seem to "feel" them somehow, as if a part of me reached over there and touched them.
