I'm not surprised at how well this worked. Humans detect consontant-vowel pairs using f2 transformations, which are computed by specialized cells in the ear/brain. The same such cells exist in bats and barn owls. Cats actually use f2 transformations to communicate as well, and that's why they're actually pretty good at expressing specific desires to humans based on how they meow.
So this is somewhat less synesthesia, and more of an organic, bioinformatic method of processing that data. So very cool.
