What are strange, perhaps obsessive-compulsive musical habits you have? Like me, has anybody went through extreme lengths to try to embody an ideal of musical purism or aesthetics? I deleted my computer's MP3s and sold all of my music CDs in bulk, at very low prices so I could get them off my hands more quickly. I don't intend to start over, I intend to clear myself from music that I had nothing to do with creating or going out to hear with my own ears. Now, I am only supposed to make my own music, or go out to see concerts. It hurts, but I decided to impose these strict OCD rules upon myself. I wish I hadn't done it, yet I agree with my decision at the same time. Largely, I feel as though I flushed all of the music I enjoyed down the drain. Gah!
Your Strange Musical Habits
what?
Listening to my own music way to much. I tell myself its so I can play it better but really it's an ego trip I think.
what?
my dino my dino my dino and meeeee
What I mean, are strange fixations you have related to your interests in music. Do you do weird things that you think helps your listening experience, for example? Or, do you subject yourself to something rather sadistic to try to challenge yourself?
Which instruments do you perform with? I mostly use a synthesizer and a piano.
share your music with us so we can tell you if the sacrifice'll pay off
same for me t b h. im one of my fav artists lmao
I have no recordings. I only play for myself, or others that happen to be nearby. I mostly use an ARP Odyssey synthesizer, or a somewhat worn piano.
I play guitar drums bass
Good way to think about it.
im serious tho. making my own music lets me control all aspects of it, all sounds and chords i like. its like a higher state of consciousness for me.
i wanna get the GET (damn posting cooldown will ruin it tho)❤️
oh ok, you are autistic. just as I thought. good luck
I put on an album and I space out and don't remember any of it
Do you like ambient music?
I do but I space out regardless of the genre
Your post just reminded me a lot of comments I've seen over the years on ambient electronic videos.
i fuck the music, i make it cum
Instead of not remembering any of it ill just remember the good parts, so when im talking about the album most of the time ill just talk on how good it was, unless i didnt really like it, either that or i have an idea that the album is really great and its only an okay album, weird asf desu

After 7 days of work, when I have some free time and I can play the guitar drinking beer and doing some coke at home, the first song I play has to be, always, Lucid Monomania by Wolfbrigade, always. Can't play anything else if i'm right back from work.
Rolled 1 (1d6)
That sounds like something I'd try.
it's an abstract feel
When a songs really good i get off my bed and start pacing my room
I adjust my headphones a lot while listening
yo what the fuck
based dinoposter
i listen to cassettes in a walkman :)
you're just a huge snob
>I intend to clear myself from music that I had nothing to do with
you didn't need to delete those files and sell those cds, you only reinforced your dependence on them with this act of "purism"
I put on an album and don't remember any of it
If I get something stuck in my head I’ll sing it only using meows. Kinda like the meow mix song
I download the audio as MP3, sometimes by removing the Spotify DRM, and listen to a new album on 2x speed to get a feel for it without wasting so much time, or by listening to 30 second previews of the whole album a few times.
This is the most disgusting thing I've ever read.
I "drum" with my jaw and teeth.
Its hard to explain but you know how sometimes people air drum or something when the song is catchy or whatever. Well, I do that but instead of my arms ill tap my teeth to the beat of the music. So the kick would be my molars clicking together and the snare is my canine teeth touching etc.
I listen to music through Audacity.
Holy fuck I don't do the specific parts of the drums but I used to do the same thing with just any rhythm of any song and move my jaw side to side. Holy shit I'm not the only one.

i have this weird habit where i get sad when people don't like my post🙁
I say shit about the composer while listening to his/her masterpiece
"Fuck your motherfucking ass beethoven. you fucking ass faggot EWAEWAEAWEOAWEOPU"

epic
same, i can't stand still if the song is too good
