What kind of a music listener are you? (6 Viewers)

What kind of a music listener are you?

1. The sensuous plane – we hear the music without thinking or analysing it. On this level, we can still be influenced by music, but in a non-conscious way. Eg: by hearing upbeat music playing in a store, we will buy more than if we are listening to slow, sad music.

2. The expressive plane – we hear the ‘emotion’ of the music, or ‘feel’ it. This is where listeners give a ‘meaning’ to the music they are listening to. Unless I’m being analytical, I tend to listen to music on this plane.

3. The purely musical plane – this plane requires focused listening. On this plane, the listener notices all the musical aspects – the volume, tone, rhythm, tempo, melodies, harmonies and structure.

I'm definitely a listener on a 'purely musical plane'.

Definitely #3 for me.

Much like certain movies, I always try to go back to certain songs to see of there is something I missed the first time around

Somewhere between number 2 and 3. I definitely need music that speaks to me, have to hear it feel it and I also like the musical aspects of the different music I listen too.

Interesting... I don't do that for most of my music after listening to it for a while. I make up my mind quickly if I like it or not because I analyse it at a deep level.

I'm a 2 & 3 mix as well

It's not a question of whether I like a song. On the contrary, if I really like a song or an album I will go back to it to try and pick up nuances, especially if they are re-mastered or if it was originally a mono recording that is now available in stereo.


Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys to me is a perfect example. The deluxe CD has both the mono and stereo recordings and its amazing the little things you pick up on along the way.

2 & 3

Definetly 2. Might be some times 3, but still definetly 2.

 

[Klin]

2.

 

[Post Ironic]

A hybrid 2-3 combo. It often depends on the quality of the music though.

 

[carlosss]

Number 3

 

[adRHCP]

I used to be a 2 but now I'm more of a 3

 

[Wings]

Just realised that I don't listen to music anymore. How the fook did this happen?

 

[adRHCP]

Lack of time?

 

[Wings]

Too much to do. I also feel like I've lost the connection. I would love to have a few weeks in an old sunny, warm little village with some local music.

 

[IliveForJuve]

2 most days, a combo of 2 and 3 when I'm high.
