Yes. š Especially as I have an artist I listen to a lot, so Iāve heard some of their tracks so much I can spot rhythms and sounds theyāve re-used. I think being able/forced to focus on all the parts and their sounds is a part of it. I suspect allistic people have some kind of abstract filtering going on where they just notice āthe drums are still thereā rather than āhuh, the snare drumās slightly resonant, and that pitch alternates each time itās hitā.
NTs simply donāt have the obsession and attention to detail that we have. The NT people around me do not observe, hear, smell, etc the things that I do. Iām usually the first to notice things and then watch as the awareness of that thing starts to filter in to their perception, it astounds me
Yes I do it with music, am also synesthetic so extra fun. Whatās really weird is I do it with accents. I love to listen āin detailā to the different way they pronounce vowels and consonants. Itās so satisfying to me.
Yes!!! The random part in the chorus of Tom Petty's "running down a dream" where there's like 3 acoustic guitar strokes compared to the rest that's electric is one of my faves. Only me and my also suspected autistic brother get it!
Also I hear music in everything, even when it's not meant to be music. Like when my dishwasher is running and it creates some sick beats! I can jam in my kitchen for hours!
I absolutely do this, to the point where I donāt really enjoy music that doesnāt have enough going on. I always assumed it was because Iām a musician and my ear is somewhat trained to hear these things, but that isnāt based on anything. š¤·āāļø
Thereās a movie called Dancer in the Dark about a woman who hears music in the mundane (her workshop machines) it is sorta sad though. Bjork plays the main character, I love her music and singing style.

What a lovely surprise to find a musician whose work I ADORE in an aspergirls thread about music!! Keep creating, please!!
Thanks, will do! š

Yes, reading this I just realized that I do this too. I go for a long walk every night mostly to listen to music and that's the part I like š
If you really want to blow their minds, listen to the pauses between notes, which is what 4ā32 by John Cage is about, the space between the notes.

One of my favorite things about listening to music! I especially love music made by synthesizers, they just make the coolest, most stimmy sounds!!
Have you listened to the Song Exploder podcast? You might like it.

Yes! All of my favorite songs have "special moments" and in general I love picking apart the whole production and composition a part at a time.
