What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

Listening to your music is not necessarily a compulsory good thing to do every day.

Listen to your body…. Habits however nice don’t have to be a constant habit.

 

 

Very good observation...

I am retired and when i do want to listen to music many conditions are necessary to be put together for a focused  attention and understanding with my ears...

 

Otherwise it is only relaxing background...

 

 There is 2 types  of music styles or for habits :

Background music or  music asking to be "understood" ..

I appreciate the two...

A musician has a great advantage,when music did speak to him no more, he can speak to music himself.

 

Music can be a solitary act of attention ...

It can be also be  a collective playing communication ...

A friend musician once said to me that some pro musicians do it as a job...

 We are all different..

 

 

These music is very therapeutic... It is like an anti-stress drug with no secondary effects...When we are really down, we need something stronger than "music" a recipe designed by Jonathan Goldman genius (even Bach or Mozart dont work for some very anxiety or panic stress):

 If you are healthy it will be of no use probably because the one minute and few seconds mantra is repeated...

But if you are in distress it will takes between 15 and 25 minutes to put you out the extreme stress state... I used it since 30 years..

Other musics created by Goldman did not compared for the therapeutic effect in my opinion they are more "relaxing music" but if in a panic attack we need more than relaxing...

Among all music i tried this is the most efficient... The effect exist even after 30 years repetition regularly ...

it is best to hear it on a good sound system because of the subtle frequencies used here ....

 

I may add an explanation for why it work better than some sdacred music:

Gregorian song or Hildegard Von Bingen for example are absolutely beautiful meditative music...

They beat more "relaxing" well done music...

 Why ?

Because Grogorian And Bingen use a masterfully controlled esthetical language of beauty and designed almost to perfection...

 

Then what the Jonathan Goldman piece has which is more powerful for panic attack or extreme internal stress and struggles ?

It is a "mantra" very short repeated songs with subtle and masterfully craftmanship in using very specific frequencies...

It work chirurgically on the distressed soul not to relax it, or to put it on ecstasy (as Bingen or Gregorian or Liszt Christus or Bruckner) but to cure the soul as a surgical procedure cutting the negative from the body and making respiration process calmer ..

 Try it only in a stress situation...

 

 

I stop and go for a walk or a put a "medical" piece of music of my own choice...

I just make a post on another thread i will put here too, it may be useful :
