Me too, fast music really help me get into focus without needing a lot of effort
Yeah, it's a proper thing. Supported by science and all that jazz. I love it. I've got tattoos to show my love for music (people always see em and ask "what instrument do you play?" They are always hella confused when I reply with "none"), it was nice finding out years after as to just why music is so important for me. It literally regulates my brain if I pick the right stuff.
I mean I love playing bass/guitar but I enjoy music not made by conventional instrumebts a lot
I get that. And I have dabbled with making music. But I would never call myself a musician, producer, whatever. It's kinda corny given the source but, Fred Durst said it best for me when he said "music is key/it's the way we're set free/from all this world is throwing at me". I'm 38. Music has been central to my identity for 30yrs now.
Any chance you have a source for any of that science or jazz? Would love to read more
