i'm talking full body goosebumps from a piece of art
this ever happen to you?
sadly my wife and a few of my friends have NEVER experienced this
but it's my favorite feeling.
Aphex Twin- 4, when the beat drops out and we're left with that clipping melody with pings. that's definitely one of those moments for me.

there was some guy -- seems a proper self-promotional charlatan, and i think he was local too... doing a study on being able to voluntarily trigger goosebumps. that apparently this goes quite far; people doing this to heighten the experience during sex etc. as some reports go
that i remember this was 2018, specifically, it popped up on ars technica, he's doing a study. and i wrote in: yes. how do you define voluntary? because if i very strongly begin meditating on tasty food, i can make myself salivate, even though i have no direct control over my salivary glands... or do i, since i can trigger that? and then i can play music back in my head and give myself goosebumps, would you like me to be part of your study?
and i'd said more about mindfulness and my history with music and he wrote back "yeah a lot of people have basically said that, mindfulness" and he didn't say further but he meant the thing like the salivary glands and that's how most people do it, deliberate goosebumps.
i half figure if i really studied it i could learn to switch it on more directly.
i actually think i have just cracked how to cry deliberately, a couple days ago. it's still hard though. takes concencrate

or noooo 1:38
where the synopating is just like visuals crossfading, light shifting
i could go on. but perhaps i experience these things in a bit more detail than most and that's why it works when i want goosebumps on demand.

the moment you linked in 4, in any case
the melody is saying something like, "i just wanted your attention, i'm an innocent child" ending with i-Was-ON-ly THIRSTY
then dfhjgdfhg snare rush where you've dropped and pushing the air out of you, breathe back in and reflect
that's my read, anyways

ventolin? trying to recreate an asthma attack? would it make sense that i decided i'd rather not?
as a curiosity -- that i've done tracks with far more feels, and even those don't compare to... you know, all this other shit -- here is a track when i was first off on my own with a driver's license and just putting the anxiety of what i felt into a track
LAZY_TITLE
these tense orderly things and then you fall inside this swelling bellows of deep anxiety i dunno
it's not a candle to afx or tipper but it was a very honest track from a young lad

4, though. right, that one, you want that one. when you ask how many times have you tripped that is a long conversation. but when you ask, "what is the most" and, actually, i forgot -- that the most acid i ever took at once was 4 hits, and then i put on 4. on my 20GB ipod click wheel 3G whatever using the sony MDR-V6 cans that i still have [if you care]. that everything was looking like i was in a van gogh painting. i always have kind of wanted to try that much again, really, because it was gorgeous. and then i put on 4. on 4. and went out onto the 3rd floor balcony where there was a snowstorm going on at proper levels for upstate new york and all the swirls of snow were like starry night as i listened. absolute top experience.
but, more recently
photodementia
the pitched cowbells trailing color... that, this gives me the same feels as van gogh's starry night. without 4. if i could ever argue that a track was an impressionist work of genius

could not agree more with the fav feeling bit. never pinned down exactly what it is about some tracks that do it, but some do it pretty reliably for me, this being one of em

belb: yeah those drums are deep, sounds rad. havent listened to cannibal ox in like 15 years, mb longer. gonna hit up some more now
epic: nice choice on tipper. I like this kind of stuff he does more than his more "wub wubby" shit, but he's on it here
I also like the track you made, and picture you, or a satyr version of you, playing a renaissance flute starting at 1:01. No nerd chills, but fun stuff.

4 is RDJ's best track.
If it's not 4, it's the last 2 min of 54 Cymru Beats

i mean, this is very appropriate, but awkward, which is makes it more appropriate. the aaron funk is pretty much, like, if ulillillia smoked crack -- but being ulillillia, smoking crack is FINE, so long as you don't go out and buy more crack afterwards, because that's like blue water.

that i have something even more charmingly serious to recount
my father was a brilliant and special man and it took him talking about my CDs to realize he'd been sneaking in and ripping every CD i had just because, like, this is my son, and he's probably at least kind of good, and what's he listening to?
and the one thing, like... we're right past the RDJ album, Squarepusher's Hard Normal Daddy -- but the one thing where he finally shows his cards, that i realize he's been stealing all my CDs -- he was just beyond thrilled with winnipeg is a frozen shithole. particularly the ~winnipeg~ every tyime. one

Let’s not Smoke crack
"Smoking crack is totally fine, so long as you don't go out and buy more crack afterwards." --Venetian Snares
as part of this interview, he explained that 7sevens.med was part of an experiment where he "literally smoked crack" -- he literally used the word literally -- smoked crack. then got up the next day and tried to recreate the feeling of a crack rush with music.
i read this and i got all stoked and got ahold of 777777g7df.med and, ppf, what? this sounds like if you ran venetian snares through a bitcrusher
then the penny dropped: it's the same music and he's spent the last decade or two increasing the resolution. that i'm comparing where it went with where it started. a far lower-resolution rendition of a crack rush
i have to say, crack is one of those things i'd never touch, simply because it seems so "more-ish" i worry i'd... as he put it, go buy more crack. i don't think he's a crackhead. that maybe he even kept it up a bit, but i dunno, he's not as sturdy as george clinton and i figure he's knocked it off by now...
in any case, if we can roughly posit that the only reason aaron funk bought more crack was because he needed to study the sensation more in order to get his track right, i think we can allow a little crack smoking. but i'll pass

that i remember going after trying to explain this as far back as, like, 2009. i think the key leap is to not explain: if you listen to herr barr, the nerd chills, maybe quantify this a little? the back of your neck? running gently down your back like a feather bird... hand... thing?
so, to not explain: this is the sound of a gentle pet down the back of your neck, your side, translated into audio. that perhaps clark has no idea either. he just sat there until it sounded like it felt

he's so heavy on the compressor because it buys him a bubble in which he can convey the sense of touch in his sounds with more nuance
