Music is a personal business. What I like, you hate (maybe); and vice versa. Finding a person who has the same tastes as you is rare; but the more I open my ears the more I hear the same kinds of things happening across musical styles; the more my ears are emancipated from their tribal affiliations the more they start to hear what's going on...
But what about a person who has never listened to music before? They don't hold tribal affiliations, but also they don't know what everyone is talking about. Music?
What's that?
Also, in my experience a lot of people's ears have been blunted to music through the constant background tunes that are used to (I suggest) hide the not-so-pleasant noises of modern life.
This is my attempt to build music up again from its elements, the first of which would be rhythm, but I want to leave that for now and start with musical sounds (pitches) that we can recognise but maybe haven't paid attention to recently.
Heh! A journey into sound, as Eric B & Rakim said.

I am not a Nord, unlike Sven, who is a Nord. I am a Sud, who lives sort of in the Nord, but sort of not.
We who live in Temperate Climes sometimes find mushrooms.
Those in the Nord find Amanitas.
