I made a decision to put various bits of my art-y code online, and to see what happens. The first project up in my public code repository was written for some visuals i ‘played’ live for my friend the cellist Bela Emerson.

Sunday, January 20th, 2008Synaesthesia tests
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006http://www.synesthete.org/ contains lots of interesting info about synaesthesia, including some tests to find out whether or not you have the condition , where some of your senses get mixed up (consistently).
I’ve long been fascinated with composers who apparently see (or saw) colours for musical chords – such as Messaien or Scriabin – and after completing my Evolutionary & Adaptive Systems MSc found that synaesthesia also offers cognitive science researchers a valuable difference from the norm with which to understand how our senses work.
