Listener 7609’s letters
Four dimensions, read from what Listener 7609 actually plays.
vs Intimate
You hear it with your whole body.
You reach for music that moves the body first - rhythm, pressure, momentum. The feeling arrives through motion.
vs Eclectic
Deep, not wide. On purpose.
Your taste holds together as 4 close sides of one sound. You know exactly what you like, and you go deep rather than wide.
vs Rising
Loyal to what you love.
Your taste is settled. The sides you love now are the sides you have loved - you return rather than wander.
vs Niche
The songs everyone knows. Proudly.
You meet music where most people are - the artists everyone knows, the songs that fill rooms. Shared taste, big rooms.
Listener 7609’s reading
As Brew wrote it to Listener 7609.
μ's and IOSYS turn the room bright; ミドリ and Mindless Self Indulgence roughen the edges. Jack Stauber’s Micropop and Mac DeMarco make a softer lane, not an exit. You stay in your familiar orbit, still finding new voltage in its corners.
