Post Subject: My idea about soundPosted by Amir on: 7/29/2009

I hope to transfer my idea with my bad english Smile

I should to say that my view is based on my personal experience and i have no stress on my views.
I share my views but for knowing more not for disagree other views because i think this discussion is a little complex and i can not be sure about my ideas.

I think the levels you described from Mr.Dostoevsky should be reviewed by regarding to music type.
in my idea sound is multi dimensional and different type of music like Classic or pop have different structure.
we like music because music is a special type of sound and we do not like many other forms of sounds like sound of cars on streets.
I want to say that if we divide sound to two type, "music" and "non-music" we should consider that musics are not equal and our perception can divide them to "n" dimensional vector.
these dimensions are based on effects of music on our brain, soul and in one word "our perception".

as you had a very good post at here:

I think musics have different effect on different section of our perception and some of them like hard rock are based more on first impression and their effect on a audiophile is more dependent to sound character.
some musics like classic have different effect on listener and their effect is less dependent to sound we hear and more dependent to harmony.

with this view i think a classic music listener could be in level 2 (Mr.Dostoevsky level 2) and there is no need to think to a better audio system.
when i listen to persian classic music and music have a deep influence on me i 100% forget the sound but when i listen to hard rock i like to have better audio system.
I think a music like hard rock or many pop musics are more dependent to sound and this mean these types of music are more dependent to audio systems and a audiophile that just listen to these types of music can not stay in level 2 .

I think audio majority is dependent to relation of music with our n dimensional perception and we can not have a hierarchy without considering to this.

in my audio hierarchy i tried to describe road of making better sound and for this reason i not mentioned the level2 (no relation between audio and music) in my levels.

Amir
