Yes, that's what I mean: i.e. our senses are different yet they are still thought of as "bound together" in what I'll call the subject such that our overall experience changes with one sense.
But the definition of "orthogonal" would have to differ because clearly sight and sound affect one another at least in our perception.
Here I'm thinking that the rules of quantification might differ in describing color and sound perception -- what "counts as" a sound, timbre, color, differentiation and so on could be in an orthogonal relationship conceptually, but we are bound to all of them at once and they all e/affect one another (and it's not even known if there is a "one another", in terms of describing the senses, IMO). — Moliere
1. A phenomenological space is all possible variations of an experiential quality, e.g. color, duration, size, and so on. — Pneumenon

A phenomenological space is all possible variations in a single experiential quality, not in a single experience.
That being said, the "overall experience" you refer to can be understood as a phenomenological space whose components are all of the experiential qualities making up that space.
So, in your video example: vision is one space, sound is another. The "overall experience" exists in a phenomenal space with vision and sound as axes. Those two spaces can, in turn, be analyzed into more basic axes. — Pneumenon
