Then, slowly soft violin and a faint piano start to play. Everything sounded very high-pitched, but it gave off a relaxing vibe. The violin would slowly stop playing and then gently start again. I would recommend this first piece if you are feeling stressed and want to listen to some relaxing music. <\/p>\n<p>The second vinyl piece was a completely different vibe. It started with a very fast-paced string instrument that sounded like a cello. It gave off the feeling of an intense chase. The string instruments slowed down, giving me the feeling that I had run into the forest to hide. Then the rhythm started to speed up again. But this time, instead of running away from danger, it sounded like I was running towards safety. This piece gave me a very deep sense of meaning and emotion. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/richmond.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/01URICH_INST\/bs7hmb\/alma9928635420806241\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Gris<\/em> soundtrack<\/a> can be found in Parsons Music Library&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/richmond.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/collectionDiscovery?vid=01URICH_INST:OneSearch&amp;collectionId=81205092690006241&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">vinyl collection<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: Arachnophonia (\u201cArachno\u201d = spider \/ \u201c-phonia\u201d = sound) is a regular feature on our blog where members of the UR community can share their thoughts about resources from the Parsons Music Library\u2018s collection.
