Mainly trance and ambient, and also 80s, psychedelic rock, house...
I'm very sensitive to tone.
it will be a very difficult thing for me to describe my appreciation of music, but i will try.
i see patterns in music, and that is what draws my interest. i like music that has more than a singe dimension of patterns, and i like complex structures that emanate from simple patterns that iterate music on a wider scale than just the current bar it is in.
i am a happy person essentially, and so i like tight and elaborate patterns that seem bright to me.
i have a sensation that approximates the sensation of color when i hear a closed loop of a very wide spanning iteration of a musical "journey".
i like major key progressions punctuated by brief minor declensions that recalibrate the loftiness so the major key unfolding expressions can relaunch.
i do not like emotional music because the notes do not paint a brilliant pattern in my mind. emotional music is deliberately played in a skewed and sloppy way that appeals to NT minds i guess, but to me, emotional music is an aimless flurry of sounds that i can not grip with my own creativity.
i do not like lyrics because i think poetry and music are not fundamentally dependent on each other, and the music suffers by each school of input having to modulate itself to fit the other.
to me, musical scores are like mathematics, but mathematics with personality and subjective consciousness infused within it.
i sometimes think of curious mathematical interludes, and try to iterate them in a simple way on the keyboard, and even though my talent for that is small, i can still see why mozart was so obsessed with it.
he had the mathematical imagination of "feelings" that he was able to directly translate to tonic structures, and that is what i find fascinating mainly about music.
like here is a very long simple musical idea (only one musical phrase) iterated in a way that perpetuates the lead up to the final note with many progressive patterns that contribute to the forward flow of of the musical sentence.

Are you synaesthete ? You're describing music a bit in a synaesthetic way.
