Herein lies the difficulty in describing how our brains process sensory stimuli
No two people interpret this exactly the same.
As a musician in an orchestra with 44 other instruments, we spend a lot of time working together to create a rich, multi-layered harmonic sensory experience. Some might call that 'textual density'. Others, simply 'music'.
String players work together and focus on playing certain notes using specific bowing techniques. When they all get it right, it is magical.
As a brass player, the goal is to always be 'centered' on the note (this is the same concept that opera singers focus on). That is when the richness of the instrument's tone comes alive.
I try to mimic that sensory experience in my system. Can I discern (hear) the instruments' under tones, harmonics, and partial harmonics? The decay of individual notes? Each section's contribution to the overall sensory landscape?
My goal is to be able to close my eyes while listening to a recording and feel like the musicians are in the room with me.
