WOW! Didn't realise Kadinsky and some other peeps I like (Feynman, Tesla) all have/had this ability to 'see' sounds. One that is not part of your list, is the painter Melissa McCracken. A relatively unknown painter if I may add, but one I stumbled upon years ago and devoted a tiny post to in my early days of Steemit, back in early 2017 (post: https://ecency.com/post/@edje/beautiful-painting-by-melissa-mccracken-an-artist-with-synesthesia).

The tool you shared, what a great one. Truly LOVE the sound of Grey/Black under the Kadinsky button. Red sounds super to my ears and brains (well, the two cells that I've left) as well. In painting itself: The Red movement is what I like a lot (the only electronic one as far as I could discover :)). The Blue and especially the Blue/Green, I love as well. The latter is due to its violins, I think. Love that instrument.

What a great find!

Ever since I discovered this phenomenon synthesis, I wish I could see sounds. But, I suppose I'm 'normal'. That said, peeps having this ability may like to be 'normal' since I can imagine when seeing colours all the time when hearing sounds, this can be quite annoying.

EDIT: had to visit the website of Melissa to see if she still shows her painting of the 'Imagine' song by John Lennon. Unfortunately not. Painting in 2015, this painting was still available as a print (not the original painting) on her website back when I discovered her. Didn't want a print. Wanted the original in my home. Instead, I used the digital image as profile photo and background at various of my social media for quite some time. Even Steemit profile background was painted ' Imagine' for a long time. Anyways... Melissa has a whole list of songs she created a painting for: https://www.melissasmccracken.com/song-list
