    OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR TOO LONG! I am a HUGE FAN of Kaz, his drumming, and his amazing music! I don’t care who gets the free albums I’ll probably be buying the album anyway. I had no idea that Kaz has synesthesia!?!? I too hear and see music as colours! I never even knew it was a “thing” until I was in my early twenties and watched a television program which touched on synesthesia and people who were musical savants. I think synesthesia can vary extremely in its severity where some people literally “see” sounds as colour and others just kind of associate certain colours for certain notes...or something similar...who knows I could be wrong but it would be interesting to hear more of what Kaz has to say about it!
