To my ears behaviors exemplified in your linked article have been part and parcel inside the largest modern foible of recording serious music. I'm going to perform another sanitary examination of my stored files with prejudice. Doubly so if it lands on a recording of certain composer's works that have been taken beyond excess. CC does not find itself among my physical library outside a few CD's of little represented artists from their earliest efforts.
Sad admission proffered in the belief it has propelled his chosen vocation forwards.
What the musicians wish to convey is how hateful this and the next 100M Beethoven revisitations will continue to be! No matter how many new toys are invented to preserve confused memories of having tickled a fanny successfully back when people sat through these to greet whatever other delights the maestro inserted that night.
That is the full thought Micro failed to recreate.
Rife with calculated limiting and compression of subject matter to present his statement as the full picture. Not everyone is so easily fooled. I'd
expect hope for a better read by micro of articles such as this one intended, as is so far as I'm aware everything PS PR releases, to sate unsophisticated interests with answers that turn them back towards listening undeterred. Commendable to that end. Not when displayed as the proliferation of nuanced technical insights by those as active in the high end as he is.
The first quote above fully answered what formulates Mr. van der Wolf's central motive. Pop music studio magic that gyrates and flashes before moving on quickly. Hits!!! No matter how many times you replay it there is some unnaturally occurring fascination both impossible and improbably perfected. I almost feel sickly compelled to check the roster of stars touched by his magic to see if any have formally become a signatory to this business by getting his label's logo tattooed on their body. How modern and flattering to the base instincts this all is.
Here is the bar being inverted so as to appear it is being easily sailed over by nearly every release. We are in an age of nothing less than shortsighted money grabs playing to strong hand of the majors. Brainless and indescribable emotional contexts distorting relevance of humane themes composer assembled.
All in all quite an apt explanation of why some lacking critical insight and discrimination might choose to dispose of digital wholesale. Return to an age less pressing than reality of today instead of facing the challenges determining for their own self what rises above abundant falsities.
Pick a pill bottle. Pick a composition. Pick a conflict. Pick a mass release.
There is your nutshell for carrying around to turn over in a pocket while out in public.
