Is it normai that i try to completely visualize music in my mind?
So I have this sort of thing I like to do when listening to music.
It starts out like this.
For each noise (guitar, drums, bass, different electronic sounds etc.)I hear, I go into my mind and think of a shape. It can't be any shape, it has to be a shape that I think matches the one sound I'm concentrating on. Then I assign it some sort of movement, having it pulse larger or smaller, move around or combinations of both. I then assign a color to that shape and put it somewhere on the "board" I have in my mind. The board is constantly changing to different shades of colors I think match the overall song at that moment.
I do all of this depending on what the noise I'm concentrating on sounds like, I can't just assign random movements shapes and colors, or it won't feel right. Each sound is unique so each one looks unique. Once I have one sound completely thought of in a visual format, I move on to the next one and repeat the same process, giving each different sound its own shape, movements, colors etc.
Once I get more than than a few different shapes flashing colors and moving and pulsating in my head it can become extremely difficult to come up with entirely new ones while still having the old ones going. The few times I get everything right I just see if I can keep it visualized until the songs end. Most of the time I either can't process that many individual things in my mind at once, or run out of song time.
There's only been a few instances so far where I was able to visualize a whole song without getting stuck on a noise and not being able to think of a visualization for it, or just not being able to visuallize that many individual noises at once.
Tl:dr I literally try to put entire songs in a visual form in my mind.
So anyone else do something like this at all?
