So you really PREFERR "canned music" over the real thing?
I know for sure: if JS Bach would hear his -admitted- masterpieces re-played and re-played, over and over again, no matter how "perfected" the sound might be, he'd be *MAD* : it WAS originally meant as a "customer's unique piece": THIS oratorium for THIS SUNDAY's mass, not for any analogous mass in N years when the clerical calendar would prescribe the same bible readings: come time, come new music, for "one use only". And he didn't even spoil the environment in doing that: good musicians would train to play the piece (be it a 2hour passion) in a few days (make it ten for that passion), then "create" it and ... it would have been GONE.
Today you have millions of exact copies of "digitally recorded, digitally cleaned ..." and also "digitally degraded/simplified" music. Enter a mall, and three copies of the same song come from three sets of (radio) speakers, escaping from three front doors ... in the hall connecting these shops, the three stereo signals are mixed, with little time delays and with different amplitudes, resulting in "almost parallel processed music". Most of the time it is NOT better than the original concert hall performance.
And even the concert hall performance has lost it's elitarianism, its uniqueness, because the very same band will try to mimic its studio prestation in several concert halls ...
Now say again you preferr the copies over the original, and that you prefer copies with added noise to the original or even to copies who have a totally different kind of noise ...
EVERY copy of an analog (sound) item has noise. Noise reduction will invariably also reduce the original item, be it analog hiss or digitizing artifacts: it's the COPYING that will degrade it.
And then i hear: "but the copy of my CD is an EXACT copy, no copying noise is added" ... of course not, because you already settled for a limited edition in the first place. |
