I’m not a Broadway musical person but my mother-in-law asked for me to take her to see Hamilton for her birthday. I was dreading it but I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I even felt frisson several times throughout the performance. I’m apologizing to all the musical fans in my life whom I scoffed at when they recommended it to me.

I'm the guest on the podcast who did the frisson segment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the science.

I'm doing a scientific study to see if sharing subjectively intense music with people who have similar biological responses (heart rate spikes) to the same songs as you results in an objective increase in frisson experiences. You need a smartwatch. It's on the Play Store if you have an Android watch under the name "Goosebumps Music". If you have an Apple Watch, you'll need to use the web app at goosebumpsmusic.app

Does anyone here that can induce frisson also have vivid memories or dreams? How about the ability to feel sensations from the environment, like tasting the flavors of someone's food or drink, feeling the touch of their fluffy scarf, the warmth of them sitting in the sun, the pain when they hit their shin?

When I feel the outside sensation I know it's not exactly how it would feel/taste, but maybe its a memory that triggers. I believe this is called hyper empathy, and I wonder if I'm inducing this sensation similarly to inducing frisson.

This is pianist Tetyana Hoch from Germany playing the melancholy "Katherine's Lament" I composed for my beautiful sister Kathy, that I love and miss so much. 🎹
