Almost anything gives me shivers....
Almost anything i liked or will like if it is a good recorded music for sure and created by geniuses in any style...
When your audio system is able to reproduce a natural instrument timbre any great musician will give you shivers....
But when i owned only a mediocre audio system a decade ago for example, ONLY the music which was already known and loved by me gives me shivers...i was not able to discover many new sounds qualities at full speed on the same level of ectasy that i already feel with Bach for example.... Bach is sublime on any medium anyway....
In a good audio systen any new great musician in any style gives shivers....
I love music, and always loved it, but with a very low grade audio system the discovery of something out of our known horizon is less appealing that what is our natal musical turf.... For me for example : Bach and some few others composers or singers....
With my new audio system anything great gives me shivers.... For example try gong music on a very ordinary audio system or a bad one..... No shivers here..... And no way to compare gong music with Bach....
But with the fullness of sound which is given by a good audio system , a theremin music or gong music can rival Chopin piano....WHY?
Because music is not only melody, harmony and rythm, it is also the fullness and complex depth and variable densities of timbre, and the holographic spatialisation of these sounds in relation with one another....
There is more images in a music piece than in a cinematographic film or at least the same numbers, with also the colors and geometrical varieties.... But to taste that we need a good reproduction audio system....If not i will listen only Bach well temprered Klavier on my Edison cylinder or from my smartphone.... One of my absolute favorite opus in all music.....
