-you can take this topic whereever.
But I had to make it T-ish to keep it here!
Anyhow, I think Bob is game to try diff music files on this site. I have music off cuz its the same always.
Maybe somone has music that has helped them? or their own music? and we could have it here to listen to too?
Kinda more personal somehow?
Or mebbe its just me.
My thots only.

my T and I have discussed music. In recent weeks I have seen a world-famous orchestra perform works by Bruckner, Shostakovich, Berg, and Mahler. I described my state of dissociation and quasi-psychosis during the Shostakovich, in particular. T agreed with me that the music was NOT good for my mental health.
Lately what HAS been helping me feel good are Masses and sacred choral music. I really love the music of Arvo Pärt. He is a contemporary composer and his stuff is almost ambient music in the way that textures and harmonies collect, gather, transmute over space

I have found certain music triggers me to switch. the last time which was a few days ago it was weird because for the first time with this one I was allowed to stay. I felt the switch but couldn't talk to her. She is a dangerous one that one and it is only certain music that she responds too. Some music I use to soothe me. I am finding certain movies a triggers too but lately lots of things are triggers.....sigh.....rk

I did post on the Books board about an Oliver Sacks book about music (but nobody has, ahem, commented there):

He talks a lot in it about music and healing, though in terms of dementia in particular. What a fascinating subject. I am very changeable where music is concerned; sometimes it can soothe me, and at other times I just cannot filter it out and find that the same piece of music will distract me :-(
I do have quite a memory for lyrics and I used to *love* playing along with "Name That Tune" when it was a game show that lasted into the 70's. Now I just get to play it with my DH.CS

There is one musician I listen to when I am my most agitated, depressed self: Dino. He's a Christian pianist and does beautiful arrangements of mostly Christian songs with nature sounds in the background. It is very relaxing to me.

music, it would seem, is very powerful....
I like the relaxation idea.
Nature type sounds music.
Anybody got any files they can send Bob of such a thing?
I have none myself.
I would love to listen to something like that when I babble.
Hmmm.
