Freud creates his own reality with the aide of sadistic and
tenious demands of his victims/diciples/models and tries to make an aproximation
of his inner vision on a canvas.
An audio guy can try to become his own
composer/conducter/musician through the technical mastery of his stereos colorations,
idiosyncrasies and neologisms by letting these filter or enhance a reproduction
of a piece of art, forexample a CD.
This can be compared with taking a reproduction of a Freud
painting and putting pieces of coloured glass and other objects in front of it
and maybe adding an ornementation with a pen here and there or even covering
parts of the painting with paper .
Further one could choose to illuminate it with ultraviolet light and
maybe observe the result with a night vission with attached fish eye
lenses.
To try to recreate as much as possible of an unamplified
instruments sounds, or other mechano-acoustic noices, is not necessarily less
noble, easier or more primitive than the ”artistic” goals above and to get
anywhere actually requires self awareness from a different (arguably higher)
perspective .
What path to take, depends not only on your inclinations,
creative drive, level of narcissism etc., but also on how much of the reality is
represented in the reproduction, if not much there might not be a point in
trying to be objective in a psycho acoustical context.
