Synesthesia would be a really cool thing to be able to experience. It is very interesting to think that the way I perceive a number or letter, a synesthete would see that number or letter completely different. I wonder what they see when they read a book?

I thought I was decent at math but when Daniel Tammet described how to multiply 64 and 75, I was completely lost. If I could see numbers like he did, I bet I would like math even more than I do already.

My favorite part of the R1 media was Even Grants talk on cymatics. It made me really want to try that experiment just so I could see the shapes for my self. I liked his idea that he posed at the end of his talk with the creation of the universe and the immense sound that must have came from that and how that sound must have had some influence on the creation of everything.

I like in the first film how the person made the lines and shapes to represent the instruments. When the guitar was playing, there were horizontal lines to represent the horizontal strings on guitar. Then, when the bass was playing, there were vertical lines to represents the vertical strings on the bass. The artist also emphasized one string by bolding one of the lines if the music was plucking one of the strings individually. In the second film, the artist used circles to represent the drums. When the drums started playing faster, there were more circles that appeared on the screen.

I also liked how it looked like people dancing in the second film. The artist used two silhouettes that would spin around one another and this gave the impression of two people dancing. There were also other shapes that would glide in and out of frame to give the impression of multiple people dancing in a room, maybe.
