If you're new to this site, you're probably wondering what exactly synchronicity is. In the interests of helping new visitors understand this little community that they've stumbled into, this article is a walk-through on the basic concepts. It will hopefully be shifting, at some point in the future, into more of a guide type format, but for the moment, this is it. So, without further ado...

From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary:

1 : the quality or fact of being synchronous 2 : the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality.

Carl Jung

This site takes its name from psychologist Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity, of a resonance formed between two events unrelated in time and space. This non-local, non-linear connection defies rational explanation.

What the heck are you talking about?

For the purposes of this site:

The match formed by synchronizing a movie with an unrelated music album, to produce a new experience unintended by either work.

Although most audio/video synchs cannot really be considered Jungian synchronicities, the term serves to describe the emotional state evoked better than anything else.
