It is not liking or not liking somebody's reaction to different
sounds or somebody's sensitivity to unnatural sounds. It is all about this: after
a person acknowledges that something in sound is unnatural then what might a
person’s actions be? To change the amplifier or loudspeaker? But a new one might
come with its own set of “unnaturalness”. So, it is not about observing naturalness
and worshiping its existence but rather identifying what specific aspect of
audio transformation was responsible for any specific unnaturalness. Here is
where a system owner gets converted from observer to creator and his actions move
him to the 3-rd way: the audio expressively.
Remember in my video I
was talking about naturality as a subtractive way to get results. Above I have
explained it. The 3-rd way described in the video is a way to get THERE without
using sonic naturalness as a basepoint. Pay attention, there is NO musical naturalness
but only audio naturalness. Read the last sentence a few times, this is the
key.
Now about David. David is VERY good at what he does, and he is like a bulldog, if he feels that something good or even something is remotely there, he bites it and holds it very safely. He has VERY good instincts for something promising. However, his explanation of the reasons why it is good does not always satisfy me. I do not believe that “magic” exists as is. If magic works, I feel it is a very structured effort of a magician who makes it possible. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
