This is quite fascinating. Would love to hear more.

Have you ever enjoyed any music whatsoever? What about movies? Reading fiction? Looking at art / photography?

I’ve never enjoyed any music. I do enjoy movies, reading fiction, creating and looking at art, etc.

does the addition of a soundtrack help you enjoy movies? surely that is part of the whole package.

Have you ever seen those videos where they take out the music track from a movie clip but leave everything else? The point it to show how much better the music ads to the movie. But it is fine for me without the music. I’d actually prefer it without the music since I find the music often makes it more difficult to understand what people are saying.

Do you enjoy soundscapes in movies? Sometimes I get the chills at the sound of the wind blowing, rain, etc. What Im trying to determine is whether it is music or general sound your brain circuitry doesn’t care to release dopamine..
