My beauties, welcome.

All of the following is hypothetical (it is not) and not something me anyone would actually pay attention to (I they might, probs) but when you're listening to that fancy music on your ipads or at the discotheque do you like the moving pictures to go with said music or are you probably more of an immersion and imagination kind of person? I have spent a great deal of no time breaking it into possibilities I understand:

When listening to mags' any new album that might be released on 1st December 2022 RIGHT ABOUT NOW at any point in time, how best would you consume it?

1. All audio, no video.
2. A visualiser type of video (an artefact will appear below these words to showcase said option for illustrative purposes) *
3. A two hour film to go along with my a 3 minute guitar pop song.
4. Something else.


* the 'visualizer' example:


Thank you.

e: updated to keep the kids in the time loop. It is important.

Hearing starts with the outer ear. When a sound is made outside the outer ear, the sound waves, or vibrations, travel down the external auditory canal and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea).

Once the sound waves reach the inner ear, they are converted into electrical impulses. The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
 
My consumption is about 80% audio only, 20% with visuals - there are some music videos which are cool to watch but tends to be more the exception than the rule.
