In the City - Synesthetic Response
0:17-0:19 seconds into the song "In the City," a B-side by Madness.
This is a rough pencil sketch of what I see in my head when those seconds go by in the song. The guitar is the most prominent blob.
These are all in various colors and are very fleeting. Bass drums are huge dark blobs, larger when slowed down.
To my extreme annoyance, one of the key blobs of the keyboard got cut off. The first one at the left, plus the one that was cut off at the top, were the two most satisfying notes that made me invoke extreme happiness and hilarity when I heard them, notably because they made me think of a girl who's very personality and temperament seemed to match it perfectly. Just the way it starts low at the side, then way up.
While the bass resembles some sort of tapeworm, it is actually more three-dimensional in my mind. Snare hits are sharp and diminishing. The piano is more simple and rectangular. I've put the initials of people that some instruments make me think of - T.D. for the guitar, H.B. for the keyboard and that girl (I'm really angry it cut off, one of the chief purposes for putting it on here) and J.C. for the bass (myself).
The colors are extremely rich. The guitar is green. The bass is a sort of green-brown mixture. The keyboard is a sort of whitish-bluish shiny color, the snare white, the piano a sort of reddish-pinkish I think, and the bass drum a dark color. The hi-hat is a jumble of crossed lines (all white). The faster, the smaller the crosses until they're like *s.
Next I'll be uploading my sketch of what years look like to me in this kind of medium. Other synesthetics have said some years are "further away" or "bigger" than others. For me they go in a particular pattern.
