Listen with your skin.


So today it was a little too warm upstairs where my main system is.
I took off my shirt. That’s better. Hey…wait a minute does the music sound a tiny bit different? Better even?

Well it seems the answer could be YES.

There’s been scientific testing of the skin’s contribution to hearing. Not sure if it applies to listening to music, but it’s worth us subjectively testing it.

I can see it now. We’ll be able to recognize each other at the next
big audio fair. We’ll be the guys wearing a bathing suit and flip flops.

Anything that affects perceptions account for what we hear, smell, touch, and feel. Mental, physical, and spiritual conditions inclusive. Not the “Zen” type myself but my skin had been acting up as of late. With multiple upgrades, tweaks, and reconfigurations, I’d been getting frequent goosebumps listening to my systems.

I still don’t get how one’s skin can hear, but perhaps is our overall perceptions that we’re all referring to.
