Post Subject: Musical MessagesPosted by Max Shatsky on: 12/26/2006
> Does our
playback reproduce imitation of music or our awareness marks it
as imitation? Sure the is a huge difference between live and reproduced
sound but is any difference between live and reproduced Music?
I would use 'Messages' instead of Music, since it is very general subject and it is true for any art.
I think that it depends on a person's ability to extract a Musical Message. Someone is able to get a message from a table radio, but someone else requires 'other' reproduction quality or a live performance to get the Message.
A musician can get a Message from a composer notes, just-listneres need music and a conductor to digest a Message. Certnainly, a conductor and performers inject its own Messages into music, producing somewhat transformed Message or a mixture of Messages . So, an electronic reproduction system distorts the original Messages and adds its own. Can you get messages from photo-printed paintings? Sometimes yes, sometimes not. Depends on types of the messages present in a painting.
Then, it is a person's abilities and types of messages. I think the same is in music, some messages are in melody (most reproduction systems will be ok), some are in sound of instruments (here we go), ... Anyone to continue this list?
