A unique perspective and visual sound

Synesthesia- Two or more senses linked. There are two main forms that people experience projective and associative. Projective- Visuals: colors, shapes or forms. Associative: Feeling. There are many sub categories in which someone can experience the two forms: Colors, tints or tones associated with numbers and letters. Colors with music or sounds- colored hearing, seeing the perfect pitch, talk about the best music major ever! Numbers as points in a spacial sequence.  Numbers as a mental map. Sounds trigger a bodily sensation- Let's hope one's not linked to the urge to pee! Numbers and letters in an ordered sequence as a gender or personality. Negative emotions triggered by a sound. Spoken words that have a taste!- The word "wallpaper" taste like snozzberries, how wonderful! Time represented as a mental map with objects- time as a mental spacial construction.

The two main types are color coded- numbers and letters or sounds. Most people with synesthesia find it to be enjoyable. How can I get this you say? Unfortunately, you can't. One is either born with Synesthesia, or it is developed during childhood when being taught abstract concepts.

Synesthesia is not a completely new concept for me, but I had no idea of the many variations- that any of the two senses can mix in any way! I feel like having a form of synesthesia would be an awesome creative experience and a great learning aid.

Cymatics- Visualizing sound- vibrating a medium such as sand or water using sound- medium creates pattern. Higher freqency= more complex patterns.
I need to experiment.
