That song you're hearing, it's called The Turn.

It's by musical artist Kristen Leanne.

She's a classically trained viola player based in Los Angeles and her songwriting process

is a little unusual.

The little plucking notes that happen have a really tear drop shape.

It's like circular but slightly tear drop.

To see as far back as she can remember, Kristen has had a visual experience when she

composes and plays music.

There's like an orange in the background and there's like a blue purple thing happening

with the notes when I'm doing those plucking notes.

And it's quite pretty.

It's always this place that I want to go.

Kristen has synesthesia.

What is that?

Well, it's a trait that essentially causes a multi-sensory experience.

Basically, one sense elicits another.

And then they kind of intertwine.

Some people like Kristen see colors and shapes when they hear music.

Others might get a taste of flavor when they touch an object.

You might be surprised by how many different ways the senses actually can blend together.

But unfortunately, there are also times when the experience is not as pleasant.

The producer I was working with, he would create these mixes and just experiment for fun.
