The list of articles

A month ago was Eurovision. Since I live in Russia, the contest was already late for me, though I still watched it. At that moment, I was half-asleep. I wasn’t even looking at my phone screen where the stream was playing—I was just listening.

That’s when Luxembourg was performing, and in my trance-like state, the song hit differently. A flood of memories washed over me—it felt like I wasn’t even listening to music anymore, but was inside a memory, with the Eurovision track playing in the background. But the most interesting thing is, these thoughts lead me to a rather strange idea about childhood memories. Outside observers can’t possibly know which moment from a person’s childhood will end up being something that lingers with them forever. You play some random music, and then that music gets embedded in another person’s subconscious…

Hmm…

So, in a way, you could try to activate your subconscious and listen to some pop music in a half-asleep state—preferably while falling asleep, not waking up. Then the music might feel completely different.

I love music and anime, of course I love anime soundtracks, although I know only one music artist, who makes it. He is Kevin Penkin. Maybe you know his works, for example, soundtracks for “Spice and Wolf” or soundtracks from anime shield hero. So, he mainly makes classical music. I listened to some albums and also I have one vinyl release (shield hero). I describe it as very admirable and fancy, especially if you know the story of anime which tracks what you hear. Irresistible sound surrounding you, you start wanting to make something new. However, it's better to listen if you know the plot of the anime, because you would be empathetic. Without it, it’s just a nice classical music. In my opinion, this situation is familiar with my last small article (I wrote about listening to music with vibes). I think this artist could be confirmation of my words.
