Masterchef Synesthesia

Interesting music video, but what does this have to do with Synaesthesia?

I wondered that myself! That's what he named this video.

Interesting; it reminds me of a video game called "Synaesthesia" which is like a side-scrolling rhythm game. I wondered the relationship there too. But perhaps it is like Vilaynur S. Ramachandran says "We are all synaesthetes" when we combine visual and auditory modalities.

No we are not all synaethetes at all, that's a gross misrepresentation of what synaethesia actually is.

Well it certainly diminishes the clinical usage of the term, but V.S. Ramachandran does have a point. Metaphor is essentially a synaesthesic operation. To demonstrate that "We are all synaesthetes" Ramachandran presents an audience at TEDTalks with two images with the names "Bouba and Kiki" and asks them to guess which is which, the audience guesses correctly. This has become known as the Bouba-Kiki Effect.

The 'synaesthesia' works if you imagine he is talking about buttery biscuit bass (i.e. the bassline of the music) rather than buttery biscuit base...

definitely talking about BASS.
