Do you mind sharing what kind of music triggers this in you? The closest to this for me has been late 60's psychedelic music.

Yeah sure, it's a huge range of things that are paradoxically highly specific to a few moments. Certain classical moments are pretty reliable. For example, the first few seconds of the Paganini variation here at around 23:00 minutes. https://youtu.be/c33q87s03h4?t=1375 https://youtu.be/c33q87s03h4?t=1375 except not this recording. I used to have a recording of it I inherited from my great grandfather and it was that specific recording that used to send me off. The opening of Beethoven's 7th - 2nd movement (right until the main theme changes up until about 2:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgHxmAsINDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgHxmAsINDk Non-classical: The main theme of this a about 1:07 https://youtu.be/YQJSnMvIKM4?t=68 https://youtu.be/YQJSnMvIKM4?t=68 Certain long notes in this song (kind of hard to explain, but certain notes she holds in sustenato): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FrWoVC6SZ8&list=PL91bz63WYu5LUieMx1B6U7X17pNdUbVTs&index=16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FrWoVC6SZ8&list=PL91bz63WYu... This William Ackerman song has some great passages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jles3aPfeI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jles3aPfeI Some moments in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV9Ow4kOA4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV9Ow4kOA4E Asucultation by the Antidote used to be a favorite (it doesn't work anymore :() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWs2R6W5vCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWs2R6W5vCc Many of the pieces of Solar Fields' Movements album are fantastic but especially this song https://youtu.be/yQjove0nzss?t=1096 https://youtu.be/yQjove0nzss?t=1096 All I Need by Radiohead, especially the main bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LlfGrP4n6E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LlfGrP4n6E Mree's cover of Blood, something with her phrasing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMe_5O0mYj0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMe_5O0mYj0 Several pieces by Steve Reich seem to hack the phenomenon for me and run just underneath the trigger: Six Pianos, Music for 18 Musicians, etc. It can also depend on the context, some of the passages won't "work" without other surrounding song context...like the contrast of the triggering passages and the non-triggering is what sort of does it. There's actually an entire subreddit dedicated to this, but I've not found much in other people's music that kicks it off. https://www.reddit.com/r/frisson https://www.reddit.com/r/frisson It's an entirely different feeling of liking music or finding it pleasurable, for which I believe I'm fairly conventional.
