Genetic underpinnings of chills from art and music

Frequent music chills were an unexpected side effect of my meditation practice. It matches with their "openness to experience" conclusion.

I also found out that you can encourage chills with meditative techniques:

1. Play your song, for example Sogno di Volare.

2. Close your eyes.

3. Think about awesome things: how cool it is that humans invented airplanes and rockets and satelites.

I get chills from music here and there. The piece that most reliably will produce the strongest effect on me is "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Looking at the article there seems to be a genetic component, but no one in my family has ever mentioned them, I should go ask.

We are not a "musical" family. No one plays competently any instruments or goes to concerts. I have an ukulele that I use mostly as a noisy version of a fidget spinner.

From the article I see that the openmindedness trait fits, at least musically: I sometimes go on YouTube musical late night binges and they can easily range from Renaissance guitar pieces to KPop via Mozart, Slipknot or some obscure Latvian folklore.

i'd like to see the list of media they used to create the chills :-)
