Listener 2117’s letters
Four dimensions, read from what Listener 2117 actually plays.
vs Kinetic
Loud guitars, private volume.
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
A tight shortlist gets repeat billing.
Your taste holds together as 3 close sides of one sound. You know exactly what you like, and you go deep rather than wide.
vs Rooted
Tomorrow has already borrowed a guitar.
Your taste is mid-shift. One side is taking over while another fades - you are actively becoming someone new in sound.
vs Niche
The big names get plenty of airtime.
You meet music where most people are - the artists everyone knows, the songs that fill rooms. Shared taste, big rooms.
Listener 2117’s reading
As Brew wrote it to Listener 2117.
You reach for closeness, even when feeling arrives through distortion. “The Grunge Wrangler” is your core: Alice In Chains, TOOL, and Pink Floyd. ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd keep its grit earthbound. You stay with familiar sounds as your center of gravity shifts.
