Reading Paul’s reply I came across to asking myself of what we call painting. Let get for instance any famous works, let I be the early Dali’s portrait of his sister “Figure at Window”. What we call as the “Figure at Window”?

When we mention the “Figure at Window” do we mean the actual original canvas with panting or we rather refer to the message/impression that the work ignited within its viewers? What we call “event”? The happening that took place in distant past or out perception of the event fact? I certainly am not wiling to dive into the well-fought debates of German 19 century subjective idealist; we all were there in our tens. However, there was a lot of truth, if not truth then “peacefulness” in those views…

To me, the “Figure at Window” as a fact is rather a persistent sentiment then the painting that hangs somewhere in a museum or in privet collection. I never seen it life and I have no real intention to do it. How different it would be from music. What is important to know what the Beethoven IX is all about or to have an opportunity to …go into a museum and to see the Beethoven IX is handing on the wall?

Once again, it would not be the unified answer and it all depends HOW YOU USE IT.

You might built better audio or learn to develop more sensitive perception and you end up with the same results. This why I, staring from a certain level, refuse to combine audio and music and  feel that audio resole own purely “abstract audio” tasks (and I do not see anything negative in it) and musicality exist “as is”, completely out of the scope and our or regards of the audio methods…

Well, I have mixed and confused that all together, didn’t I? Good for me.
