I love this stuff, so fun to read all the responses here! I’ve always been fascinated by the way our brains work. Perception and the variability in it between people is fascinating

With the right amount of "help", you can see all kinds of colors and feel vibrations...

Funny enough that's another way (beyond dreams) that people with aphantasia can visualize involuntarily...or at least so I have read!

That's a great topic.
No I don't see tone but I feel tone in my guts, if it makes sense.
It's really difficult to put into words but I imagine and eventually experience the sounds I generate with my instruments like emotions that express energy.
So I don't think about emostions like joy or sadness, what I feel i more the like a stream of energy that comes from within. And that apply to the parts I play. tone and part are unified into a single emotional element.
That happens both when playing and when listening to music (not all music, though).
For exmaple, melody, tone and execution of the main theme of this KC song make me feel the intensity and tension in my chest every single time. It's so powerful and that what meks me love music so much.
In other contexts, like mixing, I preview the outcome of my choices like I do when cooking.

Sounds plausible to me.
You mean like music used in rituals?
I am kind of shocked no one else has mentioned Pythagoras in this thread except me.
Didn't none of you cats go to School???
I can remember some of this stuff from 7th Grade Geometry and Pythagorean Theorems. Or maybe
I had a really cool 7th Grade Geometry Teacher in 1980.
Pythagoras proposed a theory that suggested the inherent inseparability of geometric shapes, colours,
numbers, and sound. It is generally known as the "Music Of The Spheres." Pythagoras suggested he
could hear "Celestial Bodies" in the Heavens and they could be thought of as Numbers/Intervals/Octaves
here on Earth... and had shapes and colours to them as well. I mean, it makes a bit of sense to me, as
colour can be thought as different frequencies derived from a Spectrum, and frequencies are also
both embodied as both sound and shapes (different waveforms).
Pretty Geeky, isn't it?

Ahhh, so Eb is brown. got it.
I remember it but don't remember going that far in depth with it. I really loved math in school except for geometry. haha.

I guess I was getting at that it makes sense spiritual symbols, music and the infinite nature of things are intertwined and often used in religious gatherings.
