Listener 1698’s letters
Four dimensions, read from what Listener 1698 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 Rooted
Becoming someone new, loudly.
Your taste is mid-shift. One side is taking over while another fades - you are actively becoming someone new in sound.
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 1698’s reading
As Brew wrote it to Listener 1698.
You turn big riffs into emotional architecture, with drama that still moves. Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and King Crimson give “The Riff Kid” its scale. The Strokes and Geese bring “The Raver” down to the body. Your taste stays focused, even when its sound gets strange.
Radiohead and Muse keep “The Slow Dancer” in the frame. Now Duster and Mac DeMarco are pulling “The Daydreamer” forward, against your big-room, body-first instincts. That shift doesn’t erase the hooks; it lets them hang in the air longer.
