Listener 1617’s letters
Four dimensions, read from what Listener 1617 actually plays.
vs Kinetic
You pull the volume inward.
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.
vs Eclectic
You lock onto a narrow thread.
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
You prefer ground that feels familiar.
Your taste is settled. The sides you love now are the sides you have loved - you return rather than wander.
vs Niche
You favor songs with a wide audience.
You meet music where most people are - the artists everyone knows, the songs that fill rooms. Shared taste, big rooms.
Listener 1617’s reading
As Brew wrote it to Listener 1617.
You are intimate at heart, though your core is The Riff Devotee. Morbid Angel, Megadeth, Deftones, Sodom, and Metallica make that closeness hit hard.
Alex G, Eyedress, and Slowdive soften The Haze Dreamer. Cocteau Twins and Mitski linger in The Fading Siren, now fading. IOSYS keeps The Glitch Prankster lit at the edges. Still, you return to familiar rooms, making even your loudness feel close.
