You can become that which you most hate:  a Reviewer!

To re/produce and to sale good recordings or good dubs is the idea that come to me sometimes but there is something in this dirty and therefore not stimulating. Even the copyrights are expired, still, it is juts stealing and marketing the labor of others. If I can claim some taste in the selection of the recording and some technical perfection then I need to do recording, not dubbing the well known releases. I have no knowledge and frankly no interest to do recordings. I am listener and thinker, not a technician.   I do not mean to undermine the recording artistry but I am very much out of game in that sport.

The idea of getting paid for assisting to anybody to mimic my playback I find is very not stimulating and there are two reasons behind it: humanitarian and technical – both of the reasons condemn such a project to be a failure.

I was considering to open a section of a site where I would offer short reviews, brief history and recommendations for some music and then to get some commissions from sellers. I do not need a lot of money, just some positive cash inflow for tax purposes. Still, doing it makes sense and creates any dent only if the traffic over the site more or less substantial.  I have absolutely no interest or need to raise traffic over my site. There are zillion ways to do it, and I am good with it at my full time work but my personal site has no need to be overly public. In fact I do some measure to restrict traffic and in most of the cases even I tend do not link my site from other sites I socialize on-line.

The thing is that I my interests and my expertise are in very narrow field that has not a lot of following out there. With my musical acquaintances I am a bit “too audio” and with most of my audio acquaintances I am “too musical”.  My expertise is in the very threshold of art and machines interaction. If you are an art-painter and you have prostatic arms and you would like your hand to be sensual enough for you to do fine sketching  than I know what to do with gears, valves and motor of your prostatic arms in order you to have ability to express yourself. I do it in audio and there is practically none existing pool of the audio people who need a help in this field.  Just as an audio-specialist I would be hardly understood, and the idiots out there do not even understand what I would be talking of doing and where I would be coming from. This is one of the major reasons why I prefer do not deal with audio people and consider most of them to be worthless.

So, I do not see a lot of business applications for myself in audio. There are some areas that I would like to deal with. For instance if some digital company  would like to make digital  to be a full 100% replica to analog, if they will provide full technical backup of my experiments and pay for my time, then I would be very happy to do some research. The same would go for other makers – if somebody would like to make special tubes or special speaker drivers with predictable and targeted musical characteristics. For sue it is naïve to think about it but this thread not about concrete plans but about thoughts browsing…
