Let it be known that this is EXACTLY as i hear it. Counting to 12, we are going up the 12 chromatic notes, starting with C-note. C is robust, hot and weighty. C# is the same, but more movement and drive. More push. D is sounds like something unstable, but also very grounded and human. E-flat-is kind of the same but it becomes instantly more bright and clear. E-natural (E note) is like that light or illumination is now spreading itself out more. F becomes more open. Almost as if that energy is moving away/traveling. F# is the feeling that that activity is now over there, somewhere else; Green (The grass is always greener on the other side.). In other words, F# is active like C#, but it's sounds like it's coming from a distance. G is smooth, and sounds almost fluid. I've recently began to notice that when people speak casually, they speak in the key of G (especially where there in no emotional attachment. Just explaining something, or sharing an simple idea). You can even think of the throat chakra, as it is blue, and therefore the voice (but specifically, i am convinced G aligns more with turquoise/aquamarine). (Incidentally, Sam Leak in this very talk speaks it mostly in G, usually resolving down from a perfect 5th, D) Ok, so, moving on to A-flat: Cool, distant. Sounds twinkly, like a star. Songs about about death are often in A-flat. (Pet Shop Boys "You're Funny Uncle," is one example). A-note is the solidification of that which was once heavenly. Like C, it becomes grounded again, but wheres C is robust, fleshy, almost biological/organic, A-note instead sounds smooth and hard, like metal. So i feel that A is like the earth elements, in a way. B-flat immediately lifts off and sounds focused, almost piercing, like the E-flat. But much more gentle and rounded. There is a magical quality to B-flat (Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet"). Finally, B is an even softer type of B-flat feeling. And it is that sort of gentle, yet piercing quality that allows B to merge back into C, which is red. B is magenta. // You can follow my words here, as you go up the scale of your own instrument, and you can actually hear what i'm describing. I deliberately did not mention my color associations with the notes, because i want people to to make their own associations and visual descriptions. Keep little diary of what you hear when you do your note comparisons and not only will you hear what i hear, you will be halfway there to learning perfect pitch. The notes are just like colors. All you have to do is to start quietly paying attention to them individually for a bit. Especially in comparison. - frank montoya in Bent, New Mexico Here is my uTube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCQzAv4E_kMLQLpK9vzQYg8Q
