“I Paint Music” By Melissa S. McCracken

culturenlifestyle:

Artist Melissa S. McCracken’s synesthesia allows her to translate music into stunning abstract oil and acrylic paintings. Those who have synesthesia posses the ability to see certain sounds and words as colors because their sensory and cognitive pathways neurologically lead them to involuntary experience secondary sensory cognitive pathways.

Her paintings express a vibrant and beautiful mixture of colors which feature a variety of artist from Led Zeppelin to Stevie Wonder. 

To describe her experience as a synesthetic artist, McCracken says on her website:

“I paint music. Until I was 15, I thought everyone constantly saw colors. Colors in books, colors in math formulas, colors at concerts. But when I finally asked my brother which color the letter C was (canary yellow, by the way) I realized my mind wasn��t quite as normal as I had thought.”

Radiohead – Lucky

(Listen on YouTube)

“Basically, my brain is cross-wired. I experience the “wrong” sensation to certain stimuli. Each letter and number is colored and the days of the year circle around my body as if they had a set point in space.”

David Bowie – Life On Mars?

(Listen on YouTube)

John Lenon – Imagine

(Listen on YouTube)

Prince – Joy In Repetition

(Listen on YouTube)

Jimi Hendrix – Little Wing

(Listen on YouTube)

“But the most wonderful ‘brain malfunction’ of all is seeing the music I hear.”

Soulive – Interlude II

(Listen on YouTube)

John Mayer – Gravity

(Listen on YouTube)

Led Zeppelin – Since I’ve Been Loving You

(Listen on YouTube)

“It flows in a mixture of hues, textures, and movements, shifting as if it were a vital and intentional element of each song.”

Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight, Tonight

(Listen on YouTube)

Radiohead – Karma Police

(Listen on YouTube)

Glass Animals – Flip

(Listen on YouTube)

“Having synesthesia isn’t distracting or disorienting. It adds a unique vibrance to the world I experience.“

Airhead – Callow

(Listen on YouTube)

Pando, also known as The Trembling Giant, is a clonal colony of a single quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) determined to be a single living organism by identical genetic markers and assumed to have one massive underground root system. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000,000 kg (6,600 short tons). The root system of Pando, at an estimated 80,000 years old, is among the oldest known living organisms. Pando is located 1 mile southwest of Fish Lake on Utah’s Route 25, in the Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest, at the western edge of the Colorado Plateau in South-Central Utah,

Beauty or brains? 

Fuck that, it’s not a dichotomy. Let’s not act like mascara glues girls eyes so shut that they can’t read a word of Dickens or solve a trig problem. Let’s talk about how no boy has ever been asked if he’d rather get his Bachelor’s or get married; no boy has ever been told that he’s too handsome to run for office. So why cover up my tits so you can take me seriously? 

Beauty or brains? I’ll take ‘em all, thanks.

The Empowerment Plan is an American humanitarian organization established by Veronika Scott.

The coats are ordered by nonprofit organizations for free distribution to the homeless, and the Red Cross has even shown interest in the item for disaster relief.  With the help of donations and machines, materials for the coats, and contributions from Detroit-area companies like General Motors and clothes-maker Carhartt, the Empowerment Plan is producing 6,500 coats this year and have made over 9,000 coats since they began. [x]

Love is...

Love is when someone makes you smile even trough distance, when "home" becomes a person instead of a place, when their little flaws in your eyes are those little cute things that makes you love them more, but must of all: love is when thinking of him becomes writing how he makes you feel... and it feels amazing!
