When you love music, there is also a tendency to develop, perhaps Misophonia. Car alarms and honking really get to me. I get inordinately upset with my daughter drumming her fingers.
Noise pollution maybe isn't misophonia, it's just natural. I sometimes get really sensitive when I meditate a lot and I just cry at the littlest thing. Sound sensitivity also seems to be really rampant from lots of meditation.
Got a book called This is What It Sounds Like by Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas. Really fascinating because she was a sound engineer for Prince, who was her favorite artist, and she lived out her dream of working as a sound engineer. And she got to talk to Miles Davis. And then she went to study neurology.
There's a soundtrack to the songs she mentions in the book on spotify.
“It doesn't happen automatically. Listening is not the same as hearing. Listening is an active process, not a passive one, and becoming a competent musical listener requires curiosity, effort, and love. But it requires something else, too-something it took me years to fully comprehend. It requires understanding and embracing your unique identity as a listener.”
I read Hornsby's book Prince and Dickens.
I just found out about Peter Schickele. He did 3 comedy albums about classical music and won Grammys for 3 of them in the early 90s. I really want to listen to his albums. Found out about him on Reddit in a weird way. He had a persona PDQ Bach, the 20th child of Bach.
Spotify: Album 1, Album 2, Album 3, Album 4
Haven't gotten to them yet.
The Charismatic Voice has Limelight by Rush, one of my all time favorites. I get chills when I hear it. Elizabeth Zharoff breaks it down musically. I don't always get her because I don't have the musical training, but she's pretty good at explaining things. The song Limelight without her.
