Live music vs. Recorded music

A frequent and ongoing discussion.
However, it is a dog chasing its own tale.
Never to be caught.
Hi Fi is an electronic recreation of a real event.
Electronic vs Human.
The audience/performer dynamic is completely different from any recreation.
That interaction cannot be electronically recreated.
But the essence of that experience can be captured and presented in a way that creates a “suspension of disbelief“. In this way, Hi Fi is an art form that can touch our souls.
