The art and science of whispering
I'm personally very familiar with the tingling sensation that ASMR describes - having experienced it a lot as a kid, so I was blown away to find a burgeoning online community. This is a great introduction to the ASMR world with different perspectives from a physiologist to a neuroscientist to a therapist. I think there are a lot of parallels between the effect that ASMR has on the body and what music to work to can do.

The Undercover Soundtrack - Alice Degan
This is a really interesting look into how an author sets up a playlist to help her reach the place where she can fall into her characters. The bit that resonates deeply with me is the whole ritual aspect and the identification of a track as an entry point into the act of writing.
Also I'm a huge Thomas Tallis fan and Vaughan William's Fantasia is now on my working playlist!
