Does anyone else get this pleasant buzzing feeling on your scalp. I enjoy watching youtubes of Bass enthusiasts such as the work of Igor Presnyakov (Igpres)and I hope to join their ranks one day (when I've saved enough). What can I say I like things that vibrate (lol). There's just something haunting with the way guitars "mmmmmmmm" that stimulates my brain. I also picked up some UFO music (New aged cd), that just have crazy UFO sounds. They seem to make my brain buzz but itches at the same time. (scalp itch).
Like the music seems to make the body vibrate. Then you want the really trippy stuff, type in Ambient music.
But if I want to feel silly and childish (aka young and immortal), I enjoy silly bubble gum rave. There are some delightful opera classical music that also falls under this catagory of silly music. "Ofenbach's Can Can" etc.
But I agree with the coffee mention. I recently heard this cool podcast about stress, in the 1800s when they were scientifically trying to measure "magic", or find some way to scientifically explain and quantify the spiritual effect. They had this kid, blindfolded, and he was to pick a tree that was magically "blessed". (New agers believe that you can infuse spiritual energy (orgone for instance, or Qi, or "The Force" into any objects animated or inanimate. The kids over acting imagination of course picked the wrong tree. But felt a over whelming energy infusion in his body that he excited him. Heebee Jeebies, Skeevies, Jenkies, or whatever. This was called Mesmerized, I think the scientist who did the experiment was Mesmier or something.
Anyways, our condition, of having an "atypical", "alien brain" might make our senses work in unkosher ways, that we feel Mesmerized when we hear pleasing music. And this is a good thing! The entertainment industry is a major contributor to an economy. But even more so, music is SUPPOSED to make us feel like we drank lots of stimulating coffee. This art is designed to stimulate our minds, to give us the buzz or the Mesmerizing Heebee jeebies. Inspire romance, take us to different worlds. Sherlock wouldn't have caught all those bad guys if he didn't listen to violin music (ughhhh but what ever floats his boat, as long as he can defeat the evil Professor Moriatry).
Like Would the death star blowing up, be less dramatic if they didn't play some drum music when Luke is trying to focus and focus and breath to shoot a torpedo into a 2 meter hole no bigger than a Womp rat?. Would you not feel the decadence and wildness with that disco number in Jabba's "spice" house. Like Lucas was going for a total Disco coke night club mood with that. Except for Boba He's just enjoying the music. He's too cool for drugs. He's a winner! Winners don't use Spice.
Now Creepy piano murder music. Where the notes are jumbled, incoherent, choppy. That's pure brilliance. Perfectly stimulates the mind but because it's not continuous in harmony. It sticks and moves, sticks and moves It helps present a confused feeling in your mind so that you can feel fragmented flow of the murderer. And it's downright creepy, but brilliant in a nihlistic Dadaist Yoko Ono "experimental way" "No" by Yoko. Is a prime example.
