After a while it’s just sounds.


I find myself lately listening for spectacular sounding recordings ( as per my last post regarding the Alpine Symphony.) After a while I noticed that all  I was listening for was just great sound  in my listening sessions.  And the sounds started sounding like weird noises devoid of meaning, even on my most beloved recordings. 
This brings up the point of how we listen to music, and the attitude we bring to it.  If we just listen for sounds the meaning disappears, and we’re left with disjunct noises making no sense. Not very enjoyable.

Thank the heavens, after realizing this I started listening for the meaning of the music and broke out of it. 
Does this happen to you?

I like listening both ways. Sometimes the music is so good, obsqure and different to me I cant help but listen/hear the system. Other times I'm just hearing the music. I'll slide into both ways on and off during a session.

I don’t know if I will.

It seems my posts touch a nerve in some members

You of course are free to post or not as you see fit, but to let a few other folks’ reactions drive you to self-sensoring would seem regrettable if you otherwise enjoy thinking about these topics and writing the posts.  Members are easily able to skip your posts if they or their nerves find the posts disagreeable.  

Everyone with a heart and a brain can appreciate your posts.

The others if they spoke for anything than annoying someone sincere are plain stupid...

I like your thoughts... They are sincere and thats all that matter...
