Autonomous sensory meridian response
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 8:54 pm
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a term used for an experience characterised by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia.[1][2] ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterised by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific acoustic, visual and digital media stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attentional control Wikipedia
I came across ASMR, as a youtube phenomena 9-10 years ago right when the scene started to grow. One of the earlier "triggers" (as they are called) was listening to the VR Barber Shop - video. It's not sexual to me in any way, it just a sensual and calming experience.
The reason why I want to bring it up here is to help any of you who suffer from insomnia, depression or PTSD. ASMR can be a great tool for relaxation and/or sample to use in your music.
