Thank you so much for sharing this - I am very late to the David Lynch party, but so inspired by your words and prompts. I often have not had words for how I experience the world, despite knowing that my mum has a few forms of synesthesia. I sense some journaling on the horizon!
There's a drain near by my house that clanks when cars drive over it. The sound goes right through me. It tells me "you suck" so very painful. I live with this every day..some sounds are ecstatic and others make me want to curl up in a ball. It's hard being so sensitive.
Couldn’t love this post more 🩷 David Lynch a personal hero on many levels. I’m always happy to hear how he influenced and inspired others.Playlists are experiential gifts to be shared. A time, a place, a feeling; all of those things brings me towards knowing a piece of someone’s sensory library. It’s like when someone invites me into their home and I casually discover a bookcase as I’m sitting in their living room and I absorb and connect and feel the knowingness of how these books might have shaped the outlook and experience of the friends that I’m visiting. Bookhouse Boys and Cherry Pie, and strong cups of coffee. Damn fine cups of coffee. David will be missed, but his ideas will continue on.
A kindred spirit! Was much saddened by the announcement of Lynch’s passing. I first saw “Eraserhead” as a film student - scary to think, over 40 years ago - and it made an immediate and lasting impression. I emulated many of his ideas in a short film I was cinematographer on back in the day, and still to an extent in my photography and writing. “Twin Peaks” has also been a part of my life since it first aired in 1990 - annually my son and I rewatch the original series around Halloween. Thank you for this lovely tribute to an extraordinary artist. The world is a bit darker without him.
Love this post! Totally listening to the mixtape. (And the heroine of my novel-in-progress is a synesthete!) 💓
Ahh! Love!!

Ooh! I’d love to hear what you come up with! Figuring out I had synesthesia was so helpful!!

Ooh yes, so hard. ❤️
