I briefly mention this phenomenon in Designing Sound [1], and have since learned there are several forms of it elicited aurally. As well as the pleasurable goose-bumps associated with positive musical emotion there's another kind, an 'uneasy' frission that is the feeling of hairs on the back of your neck raising. While the "Wilhelm scream" is the most talked about sound design cliche, probably the one familiar to mos…
“Expectancy violations (e.g., harmonic, rhythmic, and/or melodic violations) are strongly correlated to the onset of musical frisson, such that some level of violated expectation may be a prerequisite.” Interesting. The Spotify playlist didn't do much for me, but when I think of a couple moments in songs that always give me chills, they all feature that pattern: Nightwish, Ghost Love Score , Wacken 2013 @ 9:22, affec…
One of my favourites is Symptom of the universe by Black Sabbath. It's a classic Sabbath style tune with a hard hitting riff, solid drums, vocals and all that. The song seems to be winding down after the 4 minute mark with a standard fade out. But then something magical starts at 4:23. Gives me the chills every single time. https://youtu.be/4qDYa2aIBxw

I felt a much stronger emotional response listening to music in my teens than I do now, and consequently don't as often get the frisson.
> ...Johnny Cash’s “Hurt.” Feel the need to point out that is a Nine Inch Nails song covered by Cash.
Surprisingly to me, music didn't work as well as images/text for inducing frisson. For example I reread this piece very often: https://i.imgur.com/jrlpeme.jpg
Does frisson change with age? Or is it perhaps just how "into" music one is that changes with age? I felt a much stronger emotional response listening to music in my teens than I do now, and consequently don't as often get the frisson.

And the greatest frisson moment in the whole of Anglican choral music: the Nunc Dimittis from Herbert Howells' Gloucester Service. Start listening at the beginning of the Gloria (well, listen to the whole thing if you can, but if you're pushed for time start here): https://youtu.be/4jmxJa4kMGM?t=131 The famous frisson moment in this recording is at 2m57: "as it was". Three reasons. One is the shifting chords in the o…

Could you link to an example of a doom tone?

I believe it's frisson, not frission
