Analogue sound triggers a release of dopamine. This is a rush of emotions from the very beginning, other types of music make you wait for it, if ever reach it.
@psynapsurfa10 жыл бұрын
BoC use digital samplers to manipulate recordings. BoC did not use analog synthesisers exclusively, but were more into recording something into a sampler and manipulating the sound to their taste. Your statement would have been true, had you left out the analog description, for sound does release dopamines and create feel good emotions in the listener.

You are listening to a digital copy over the digital internet. So, my question to you is, is this youtube version in anyway less potent in its ability to create the dopamines for you...?? Or does it only work if you listen to it on an analog tapedeck or record deck?

Songs that during those seasons I have full experience either during the morning, day, evening and night. Songs that if I hear at these specific times brings back memories that relates to them, like the song Olson I listen to during an early summer evening bringing back the memories of watching the sun set with a previous partner.

The sheer power of the beat getting stronger every couple of minutes and the macabre melody on top of it came out as this impressive creature that was bigger than I could ever imagine.

Took the record I was listening to, which has this blueish color with white streaks, pulled a string through the hole and attached it to a standing lamp fixing it so that the hole was right in the middle of the beam, took my camera (again, it all just happened, like I was one big automatic nervous system deeply moving my limbic system) and made this, what turned out to be, in my humble opinion, Devine photo depicting the Big Bang, upon first sight making me go immediately into this euphoric psychosis lasting a couple of years turning out honestly to become the most happy period in my life to this day.
