How many of your have experienced chills, shivers down your spine, hairs standing on end, etc. when listening to any piece of JMJ's music? It's usually a short lived experience, maybe the transition between one section and another, the entry of a main melody, a sudden change in key or volume.
I'm currently studying this 'chill' response people have to music in relation to music composition and would appreciate if you could reply with specific examples of where in JMJ pieces you have experience this type of response. I'm going to use them to help identify the characteristics of JMJ's music that evoke these kinds of responses.
These responses may be something you experience every time you listen to the piece, or has just happened once.
Here are a few of mine do give you an idea of what I mean:
- Oxygene (Part 1). When the big bass part enters at 4:26
- Oxygene (Part 2). When the bass drops out at 6:15
- Magnetic Fields (Part 1). The transition between the first main section and the drop to the first breakdown section (Ab minor chord) at 2:07
- Arpegiateur. The change from C minor to Bb minor at 2:45
I look forward to reading your responses.
Many thanks
Nino
