    Is that improvised? Very nice

    Half structured and half improvised. I prepare the structure and sequences and have some ideas for key moves to express the music but the rest I allow my body to do what it feels.

    Thank you! What do you like about it?

    I know I havent said anything here for days, but that’s because I have been working on an art project!

    For me, deeply painful and emotional music is one of the most beautiful music to dance and express myself to. It is so raw and genuine.

    Here is my latest art piece doing so. Allow it to slowly build, as it is real artistic story, and not an instagram trend.

    The writing/caption really complements it.

    Headphones for the full immersive experience.

    And show some love to your boy!

    I've listened to most of your playlists - for me your music taste is 'driving down the open road, windows down. Long, warm & balmy night, wind in my hair, thinking as the lights and roads weave by' vibes. Chill, linear, calm mellow thoughts that stretch the depths. Dunno how else to describe the vibe but this is closest for me. I really enjoy your music. My overall taste just has a huge span. 

    Well articulated.

    It’s good for a more chill, relaxed + upbeat vibe. Just enough energy to push contemplation but doesn’t distract it.

    For better or worse, I feel music adds emotional weight to my contemplation.

    It becomes less dry.

    The upside is that the extra emotional weight makes the insights really stick with you. The downside is emotional self-deception, i.e "I felt something really strong, therefore it must be true".

    This.

    Hip hop is the highest consciousness music B|

    Actually, hip hop without the lyrics (only beats and instruments) are some of the most firey and motivating music out there.

    It’s the ’get shit done’ energy.

    And as a dancer, it’s some of the most fun beats to kill.

    I was waiting for Leo to bestow upon us the most conscious answer. 

    Such anti climax indeed.

    Then again, he told us to fuck off earlier for shitting on (read: discuss apppropiately) his music taste, so you can only blame yourself for such expectations xD

    Please start a new thread for discussing musical taste and styles.

    Yes, I was gonna say. It is derailing too deep into that here.

    I feel like we are all waiting for someone who has contemplated the subject deeply to take charge and start it. There’s been many in-depth sub-convos about it but not one fully dedicated to it yet.

    But yes, enough about it here.

    I think it makes sense for contemplation work that something that doesn't trigger too many emotional swings would be better suited.

    Correct. Highly emotional music is not good for contemplation.

    I do those music more for my own emotional release, healing, and to make art, and to touch normies on a deep emotional level.

    Very real. Intimately tied with emotion/psychology. Kind of like libido. Same for movies and shows too.

    People don't get this and project negative emotions like "this makes me feel cringe and embarassed", etc., when it's quite clear a song or movie couldn't do any of that. :P

    Yep, I’ve said this before but musical taste is one of those things that is deeply personal.

    Hence:

    Quote

    "I'm too deep for your music."

    Yo, get the fuck outta here.

    But precisely because it is so personal, discussing it in depth has the potential for a lot of growth and self-reflection. Except, it’s far more likely we just start fighting and throwing personal attacks.

    Aliens would be looking at us like little babies throwing tantrums xD

    Id like to categorize the feelings/frame people are chasing with there music preferences.

    Instead of genra we should have "frames". 

    Interesting perspective. Or moods?

    I literally have like 5-10 different ”frames” I juggle between:

    - Majestic

    - Pain, heartbreak

    - Anger / Aggression

    - Hip Hop beats that I like to kill with my dance

    - Bittersweet

    - Fun (mostly fun EDM, club and pop music)

    - Sexy / Love Making

    - Chill

    - Contemplative

    - Uplifting, Upbeat

    And more

    There is also a genre called Majestic Casual. It’s very beautiful:

    Yes i can see, its a sadness and spilling ones feelings out. It reminds me of Adele.
    Definitly different from leos preferences that tends to be about "the beautify of life" but with a nostalgic tone.

    Nostalgic beautify of life is the feeling that hits. 

    Yep. Well said. And don’t get me wrong, I do listen to those more uplifting, upbeat and beautiful in that way -type of music too.

    But here we dove into the topic of emotional depth. Also, as an emotional being and a dancer, I get the most out of my body, dancing skills wise, when I let deep pain take me over. Or anger, hence I started as a hip hop dancer but as I matured, I grew tired of ”biches, money and gun” type of music, and went more into love and  heartbreaks type of music, as that is more conscious than violence.

    I can see the appeal Oh i realized they are singing about there life experiences and i dont relate to it. Likely plays a major role why it doesn't personality resonate.

    Like that specific thing they are singing about i have never felt that way about life or relationships or have never had that struggle.

    Yeah, I went through 4 extremely painful break ups that grew me so fucking much. Each being extremely painful in its own ways. The first ones were painful because they were my first times, for the lasts ones I was mentally prepared for, but the relationships were way deeper than my first ones.

    But on top of the lyrics, listen to the dramatic melodies and the tone of the singing towards the end. It’s very sad and seemingly hopeless. But she is still trying to win the pain. It’s bittersweet.

    Bittersweet is one of the most powerful and emotional emotions I experience. It expresses the quintessential paradox of life.
