Re: [microsound] Musician In The Mirror



I've noticed with sound recordings that it's a different experience listening to a solo performer; no overdubs , than listening to multitracked or edited audio. People are able to tell when it's actually a person playing.

A colleague of mine , deciding to record a disc of piano pieces using a sophisticated sampler said: 'Why not just sequence?' The result of the sounds from the hardware sequencer wasn't enough to sustain interest throughout the entire album. He played the pieces with his hands and feet to good effect.

There is so much attention to 'sound' and perhaps not quite enough to what is actually being communicated.
