Synesthetes

Contemporary composer Michael Torke is a synesthete, or a person who actually sees colors when listening to pitches or complete compositions.

Following this trait, he has composed Color Music, a suite made up of music that represents specific colors to him.

Included are titles such as “Bright Blue Music”, “Ecstatic Orange”, “Green Music”, and “Purple.” How interesting.
