Different threads in music

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Not particularly related to ASD except that we all seem to love music so much & it's something positive/happy that I thought I'd share:

I sometimes absolutely love paying attention to the bits of music that most people probably don't notice, for example focussing on just the bass guitar, or the hi-hat, or the little twiddles and odd sounds that get thrown into the mix here and there. Sometimes gives me goose bumps.

  • I sometimes visualise music and I love the patterns, what music has this effect on you?  this happens with me with any genre but not every song/piece of music, when ive spoken about this to people they either completely agree or just look at me like im crazy haha

    Yes me too about the visualisation. I perceive (in a way that I can't quite explain) bass lines as a fuzzy, rubbery, brown, vibrating thing and cymbals as blue-white splashes.

    Pretty much all music *can* have this kind of effect. But I'm on a loop of Carly Rae Jepsen at the moment (have been for about 18 months!) and love the way the music is constructed - rising baselines counterpointing melody (e.g. "Higher", 2:25 onward - it's quite subtle as the bass sound is in the background quite a bit), percussion, different vocal styles & carefully-chosen ways of annunciating for rhythm. Also thinking of Rita Ora "I just wanna kiss girls" - *really* love the different vocal sounds and how they fill gaps in the rhythms so neatly. Another one for the "little twiddles" is the acoustic(?) guitar in "Bucket" (Carly Rae again) - e.g. about 27 seconds in.

    I do listen to Baroque orchestral/strings and stuff too, but I find modern pop so fresh & energising & it helps lift my mood as well as being really well orchestrated in my opinion.
