One issue : much listee-created art and similiar is not recorded from 
performance, will in fact never be performed in the manner of stage and 
audience. Working inside of this medium of transmission and appreciation - 
the interconnected network of computers - allows for music that is neither 
recorded nor performed, if still allowing the high energy creation ritual 
otherwise acted out in the performance. The .ogg or CD or what have you 
that may result from a musician's efforts may also be an object that is 
not a lie and second rate experience to boot, as descriptive expression 
may be considered.
