frisson
noun · French
A sudden strong feeling of excitement or wonder.
The shiver you didn't ask for.
The shiver you didn't ask for.
You've felt it. Not just from music.
A painting. A film. A moment.
But music does it most reliably.
And most personally.
Frisson gives you the language for what that is,
and why it happens to you the way it does.
One question
What piece of music gives you the most frisson?
There's no wrong answer. Your first instinct is usually the most honest one.
