Hmm.. nice track.. I didn't have that experience but for me the closest
I think I have felt to a similar sounding track is Nurse With Wound's
Soliloquy For Lilith although that technically might not be considered
microsound.

But as a baseline this transmiter track is somber. I would expect most
people to get that from it.. and is perhaps a tonality that reminds me
of other microsound artists like Oval.

I can get the hairs raised as an a occasional response.. Doesn't seem
like much microsound music has lyrical content so that'd be a big
difference from most pop music. I'd have to say that drones of the type
above feel like an outer body experience or that I'm travelling or are
in a foreign place. It's like a soundtrack to a movie about floating.
