#video game music is interesting in the sense that it can often override my synesthetic visions

New Leaf 11 PM is the ONLY piece of music in existence that's allowed to conflict with my synesthesia

#mel's musings #animal crossing #it's in a major. which is VERY orange and is one of a couple different “sunset keys” #and unless you live in very specific parts of the world it ain't gonna look like sunset at 11pm. and that sure ain't the case in acnl #but. when i listen to this track i DON'T see sunset. i see my new leaf town at 11pm #video game music is interesting in the sense that it can often override my synesthetic visions #because my brain seems to be wired in a way that it creates very strong links between sounds and images #that's why i'm a synesthete to begin with. and if i hear certain music while seeing certain visuals a lot as you would in a video game #it makes sense that my perceptions would start to change. it also likely explains how my visions have evolved as i've gotten older #because when i was really little i could only classify music as being one of three colors: yellow blue or purple #but now that i'm older most keys have their own color and mood among other things. and it's likely to change even more as i age #that said acnl 11pm is one of very few pieces that are so good i don't even THINK about what my visions are supposed to be #everything else is on thin fucking ice. composers bend to my synesthetic will or perish #music nerd shit #music with mel #video #Youtube
