Not yet... bought a case for my laptop this weekend and a Wacom digital tablet and Audix D6 last week.

Need more $$$.... I saw 500GB ext HD for $100 on sale as well as a great deal on an Acer Extensa laptop....

'preciate the post j_kay, but I do have one question. 

Does the thought of "Seeing Colors" during a solo seem a bit over the top?

[j_kay]

Perhaps he experiences synesthesia (read: having synesthetic perceptions).  What do you think?

I think you know how to use google and wikipedia

No, it's called I have a college degree and working towards my M.S (was on the Dean's List often).  I am an extremely intelligent and was raised in a family of educators.  Ask those who know me.

LOL

But doesn't synesthesia usually come in the form of either seeing numbers or letters in color, or seeing colors due to being on some sort of hallucinogenic drugs.  I also thought that the natural condition was usually pretty consistent. 

When I initially watched the video I took him as basically trying to say that he is in an extreme zone during his playing  (When your brain starts to perceive things are slower than their actual rate).  Like Being in the Matrix (sorry could not resist)

But, when he actually said that he sees colors from time to time I started thinking...hmmm. 
But thanks again j_kay for the video clip, and I will go off and educate myself. 







Now I can tell that this video

One more thing....please don't misconstrue my question for trying to take anything away from Master Chambers.  I had just never heard of anyone saying that they saw colors while being in a zone during playing.

I'm sure that there has to be some documented case study where someone experiences it with sounds, too. 

I also deciphered from his statement on the DVD that he is in an extreme zone, but maybe the colors could be correlated to having synesthetic perceptions. 

This is good dialogue, man - let's take this to the PMs.

Music should paint a mental picture. Music is also a spiritual doorway when done in earnest. that transcends time/space. I personally have experienced it. It is simply the "Zone." High-end athletes experience it often... it really is similar to the scenes in the movie, Biker Boyz... certain things blur, certain things are in slow motion.

Sports psychologist teach athletes how to get to this "place" of mind over matter through Visualization. What the mind can perceive the body can achieve IF they connect in unity at the correct time. Heightened awareness is the key.

Yet to get the DVD... have to do a few more web clients.
