Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music


Beautiful sound stage on my system. After just a few moments of listening I feel myself “transported” into the music and can “walk” among the voices, instruments, etc regardless of what I am listening to, aside from mono tracks. Front, back, side to side. A bit daydreamy. Love the sensation. No weed or alcohol involved! Am I completely nuts or do others get this feeling?

I often refer to it as "falling into the music".  The phrase just seems to work for me.  But either way, yes, definitely transports the mind and spirit to a level that is euphoric.  

 

 

Any time I close my eyes and I start tapping my  toe or I start seeing the people in the orchestra playing their instruments.

That’s what it’s all about!

Happens to me on a pretty constant basis. Not every listening session, but quite often. And even the listening sessions where it doesn't happen, are still extremely rewarding. 

The vast majority of the music I listen to*, is not conducive to casual listening, or as background music, or while I am multitasking. So. almost all of my listening (unless I am researching new music online) is active listening. 

*due to its high levels of complexity, instrumental interplay, sophisticated arrangements, atonality, long form pieces/songs, emotional and/or intellectual content. 

It happens to me all the time. It's the reason why I fire the system up and put something on. Though I'm mostly transported via Classical music, bands like the Byrds and the Ramones will transport me to their universes, as well. It's what makes music the powerful force that it is.
