Title: Supertramp: Dreamer
Post by: Debs. on 20 August 2009, 14:26:52

Ok, it`s official; I`m old enough to post music from my 'yoof' (way) back in the 70`s (yes really!) :o

The "Old Grey Whistle Test".....somehow seems appropriately hued now! ;D

....my`how crystal-bright that Fender Rhodes electric-piano seems by modern standards....`gotta get my paws on one of those. ;)

A classic track.  :y

.. and speaking of electric pianos and such like I was recently tasked with repairing one of these for my Mum's music teacher. A simple fault, as it turned out, but what a journey it was finding out how they work:

Excellent. Whistle Test was great, I first heard Lynard Skynard do freebird on the test, magical. Thanks for that

P.S. Don't browse the rest of the electrokinetica site unless you can afford to lose the rest of the day!

Synaesthesia is the crossing/mingling of human senses: in my case, I 'see' musical-pitch as visual colour hues. ;)



Edit:
It`s also surprisingly common.....many people whom have synaesthesia it just think everybody else sees/scents/hears the same things in similar ways to them. ;D

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but your particular variation sounds like an additional benefit rather than a hinderence? e.g. does it help with musical interpretation (or perhaps its hard for you to say if you have nothing to compare it with?)

In no way is it a hindrance; for example, when I play jazz (by ear) with other musicians when we are in 'key' the world appears to me as if in a distinctly pleasing 'azure-hue'; which isn`t there at all if I`m playing (even slightly) off-key with the others......but you`re correct, It is rather difficult to judge how other people 'perceive' their sensory world.
