Ok, I guess there's an in-built risk that this could descend into psychobabble. But, bearing that in mind - Do other people associate the sounds of certain instruments, or of certain areas of the musical sound-spectrum, with certain colours? Here's how it works for me: Red - Trumpets and other...

Any recommendations? I suspect this might be the sort of thing I would like, but I have been known to be wrong about these things. Also - it is kind of the standard to spell it with a k, right? I'm not just looking like a poseur?

This has been on my mind of late: First, the juicy confessions. Stuff I like that I'm sure would be considered middlebrow - Fleet Foxes, Interpol, Arcade Fire (kind of), Eels and what I suppose you'd call the 'big-hitters' of trip-hop, Portishead, DJ Shadow and Massive Attack. In terms of older...

Apologies if this has been done before - but if it has it didn't look to have been done very recently. Anyway, from immersing myself in nuum/scenius centred music over the last month or so, I've come to appreciate the role of breaks in the construction of a track like I haven't before, and I was...
