Listener 8775’s letters

The test Listener 8775 didn’t take

Four dimensions, read from what Listener 8775 actually plays.

I is for Intimate

100%

vs Kinetic

Feelings first, volume second.

At your center you reach for warmth and closeness - voices, guitars, rooms you can hear breathe. The feeling arrives quietly, even when the edges get loud.

F is for Focused

72%

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.

R is for Rising

98%

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.

M is for Mainstream

71%

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 8775’s reading

Who Listener 8775 is

As Brew wrote it to Listener 8775.

You lead with The Riff Kid, chasing close-up feeling in big, bright choruses. Scissor Sisters and The Smiths put eyeliner on your warmth.

The Head Nodder keeps Frank Ocean and Radiohead close. Now The Raver meets The Wildcard. Jamiroquai and Chet Baker soften the turn; Electric Wizard gives it weight. You're becoming darker without giving up the warmth that made you listen.
