If you were serious about sound you would...

...thought I’d provide / share my squeaky clean listening update … I’m lovin’ It!

( "....It had gone too far when the McD Synthdrome had spread to the audiodefiled immunity...Nothing could be done to curtail the use of ultrasonic record cleaning fluids as a ’chaser’ for hallucinogens mixed into ’adult beverages’ in the paltry few ’b&m, pro-sound dealers’....

All one had to do to find this illicit activity was to follow to the source the unrestrained ’giggling’ into the back area of said store.

The sight of a ’defiled ProAudChaserChooser’ using the fluids in a bidet wash unit to ’anoint their vinyls’ was Not a sight to be put into the gay discplays in a storefront window...." *

* - Excerpt from the "Now We Are InSync’ed" Manifesto, marked up with pink "Barbaberbe’ highlighters and held up with pinheads."

It should be titled '....System(s)', as I really can't see you running everything all at once...*g*  Just a wilding thought...

Caught the irony, yes...and a degree of cynicism.

I'm reasonably assured that the majority of your readers here have 'live music experiences', of all manner and types of venues and players.  But on a more regular basis, we've spent the bulk of our time listening to playbacks...subject to the very wide degree of processing to offer a credible sonic ....'portrayal' of the 'event'.

A soloist via one methodology; duo's, trio's, quartet's....symphonies, orchestras...

All of these can be 'live' or studio'd; the latter really leading into the 'heavier processing', whereas the former?  A little 'sweetening', perhaps... ;)

Beyond that....

It's very much The Art of the Artifice....

Your 'office', arcticians' @ work. 

Which hits the borders of the Art of Noise; not only the group, but the 'product Itself...

Music and the voices in front, beside, and behind...at your control and call.

A little movie, seen long ago, has ever since effected and affected my enjoyment of music and the people within:

The Phantom of the Paradise...

First window of clips, top first 'page', left @ bottom; play entire.... 

Nearly 50 years later, whenever I hear or listen to music of Any genre'....

...in the back of my mind and ears, I recall That series of scenes 'n shots....

And know and trust you and your fellows.....;) *s*  "You betta, you bet..." *L*

(...and Yes, the 'studio' isn't quite right, but one gets the concept....😏....)
