i'd like to see the list of media they used to create the chills :-)

Elgar's Cello Concerto in E Minor consistently does it for me (https://youtu.be/8V41D0Uczf0). I stopped and stared the first time I heard it (thanks Wednesday Addams!), and learning that it is a reflection on the humanity-altering changes of WW1 makes it more emotional than just another ASMR tingle (which I also sometimes get, as does my daughter).

You'll have to content yourself with those listed in HN comments.

For the nerds, I'll add the scene from the movie Excalibur when Percival, near the end, throws the Excalibur to the lady of the Lake—with the score playing loudly…

The charge of the Rohirrim in Return of the King also works for me

Doc Severinsen can get me almost every time too.

Yes, for me it's the scene with the knights riding through the forest with Carmina Burana playing (this was one of my introductions to recorded music- my parents had that record and I spent a lot of time listening to it later).

I think some people call this effect "frisson" and to me it's not dissimilar from the senstation I get from ASMR.
