LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Music can be a mouth-watering experience for one Swiss musician who "tastes" combinations of notes as distinct flavors, according to a report in the science journal Nature. The 27-year-old woman known as E.S. is a synaesthete, someone who experiences sensation in more than one sense from the same stimulation, researchers said on Wednesday. When E.S. hears tone intervals, the difference in pitch between two tones, she not only can see the musical notes as different colors but can taste the sounds

    They had something about that on 60 minutes a few months ago. Some people can "taste" music, some "smell" and some see certain colors when particular notes are played...strange stuff.

    dude, you saw that? A buddy called me but I was at work and missed it. Problem is, they never really tested it. I always heard the brown note is 8htz at 130+db. They only did 115db at those frequencies and then did 150db at 20-100htz sweeps. Not exactly the same thing...
