As an adult, now, my simultaneous multiple sensory is easily and habitually diminished to the "normal" or "common" sense being dominant, or the only one noticed, unless i focus otherwise.
So _now_ it seems that visual is noticed first in 'physical seeing'. Hmmmm... music and it's color is still always simultaneous, but the color is just not the dominant thing i 'notice'.
Only once that i remember did i hear a color (and it was LOUD, too) before i saw it. i was 13yrs old. Might've happened more, but that one "loud blue" time really startled me.
Only a sparse few times have i 'seen/felt' the color flow before recognizing it as music.i have no idea how i learned to discriminate, but it has gotten 'quieter' and less 'noticeable' as i've gotten older. It's really no big deal at all, now. It IS very 'natural' to me when i am functioning artistically. i'd perhaps feel 'blind' or 'deaf' without it at those times, i don't know.
Hope i've been able to describe it well enough, Misk? i sat and observed, to try to dissect the timing or mechanism, but i'm afraid it's too responsive to intentional focus now.
i wish you the best in your journey with these experiences... the very best.
Take care,Escher
