How To Visualize Music Differently

(YouTube Link)

You listen to music, but do you see it? Do you hear it in the raindrops around you, or realize that there is a rhythm to everything? The way our brains visualize and process musical patterns factors into both how we hear music and how we "see" it. I wont even keep going and pretend I am smart enough to trick you into thinking I have any idea what I am talking about. Instead, I will just let the always-brilliant Ted Ed series of Ted Talks teach you how to visualize music differently. Who knew something as simple as a wheel would change our perception of music?

That last line will make sense after you watch the video.

Now if you don't mind, I am just gonna flip on the blacklight and visualize some Pink Floyd music.

That is so cool!
When are they going to open the 'experience' up to the paying public..?
I'd pay to have a play - of course, I'd happily head to Mars on a one way ticket as well, but that's just me...

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to rationalize even the most stupid and useless activities.

//personally, I think of my Neatorama sessions as research into abnormal psychology.

Here's where they got the ideal for those "Mars Space Helmets":

I remembered instantly seeing them before - and I think several REALLY cheap sci-fi movies used them too....

Glad to be of service, Vonskippy! And Denita: Bwahahaha!

Creamer is thinking that when he gets back, he'll have a little chat with the travel agent that booked this "vacation."
