We learned more about each other's personality by hearing what noises they could bring to the table (Eliza has a killer alter-ego voice. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO NAME IT?!). We also heard each other's fake laughs, so now we know when they're being fake.
In all seriousness, it was really fun to connect with people who I've either only talked to on certain occasions, or whom I've never interacted with in my life. Although it's difficult to get together and create a sound library that would be a little creative as well as useful, I think that Billy, Eliza, Kevin, and I collaborated efficiently and timely... the final result was worthwhile, in my opinion, because now everyone in the class can play around with some of the silly recordings we surrendered.
I took 6x1 this summer, and we also watched this video, but I'm glad we watched it again. I feel like I focused more the second time around. Naturally, when I got home from class I went on Facebook (again, naturally), and saw that one of my friends from high school (in Wisconsin) had just posted something similar to the goofy youtube guys we watched! Coincidence? I think not.
Seeing sounds reminds me of people who see certain words in colors. It's fascinating to discover other people's levels of consciousness with the natural world.
Wait, people can see sounds and different colored words, right? Besides the videos with rice/sand forming patterns...? Did I dream that concept?
Anyways, when we watched the videos, and nearly every time I think of sound, my mind goes to two things:
1) Echolocation... batman, bats, blind people, blind mice. Their hearing is off the walls (get it?!), and although I love all of my senses, sometimes I get jealous.
2) The Lizzie McGuire Movie when Paolo and Lizzie are in the rehearsal auditorium. I think of this when I hear "Acousics" as well.
I just saw something on Pinterest about cats feeling vibrations. I wonder if they see sounds, because they always have that overwhelmed/on LSD look on their face...

So it turns out I didn't know that Synesthesia was "cross-wiring" of all the senses.
I'm going to bed now happy. And you're probably going to bed wondering if I'm sober and sane. The answer is yes and possibly (scatter-brained thoughts are a form of intelligence..?).
