What do you listen to while you work?
Depends on the mood I’m in and the goal I’m trying to achieve for the day. Lately, classical music has aided me in getting whatever job done.
In high school I played violin in Orchestra and while I enjoyed learning the instrument, I was never a huge fan of the genre itself.
It was until recently that I came across a composer sharing a piece of his that literally made me want to explode into glitter. It’s like I could feel the dopamine flood my brain and gently embrace it. It was profoundly the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard and I wanted to hear more like it. I searched and so far I’ve come across a few composers I really like whose score is on repeat ESPECIALLY when I’m working.
One thing I learned about having ADHD and being sensory seeking, music just hits so different for me. I’m able to lock into every instrument and every sound and thanks to something called (frisson– a neurochemical reaction tied to intense emotional stimulation) I’m able to feel it so deeply.
If you’re interested in knowing which song I’m referring to it’s called Firn by Julien Verschooris. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. Did you feel it?
