A musician who tastes each chord - literally

" ...a minor second is sour. A major second is bitter. A perfect fourth is mown grass. "

I find this really really weird. I mean, who eats mown grass?

    So that blind people can hate them as well.

    I've tasted music before. It tasted like plastic. Last time I'll ever eat a CD.

      I was into the Strawbs and Cream. Used to listen to them together, very tasty.

      Deep Purple did an album called "Come Taste The Band" but I'm not into cannibalism

      I used to listen to Popcorn by Hot Butter in the cinema.

      Quitting while I'm ahead.

    Well, we have different sense departments in our brains - and the data received is coded in crossfiling with other departments in our brain - for instance the sensation of "sweet" has had a codette attached that connects it to the word "sweet". We've also heard of "sweet sounds", which I realize is figurative, but we often hear taste terms used in connection with sounds. "Sour note", "bland", etc. So I don't think it would be that much of a jump for someone with real musical talent's brain to start sticking taste sensor codettes into sound data. I've never even stopped to notice if music ever brings a taste sensation to me. Interesting. I'll be looking for it now.

      I could say an F sharp is lime green and a B flat tastes like salted caramel....you have no way to prove or disprove it. That could be fun...

        I love salted caramel, but if you're not going to share them...

              I presume when you taste it as a la mode on an apple pie it will be a complete TKO then.
