Live music used to be the preferred method for street beggars.
Some were darn good too. Now you just need a #1 black felt tip marker
and some folded cardboard and you can make more than the people
at MacDonalds in less time.
@secretguy nailed it. I’ve got an hour or two (entire life) of listening to live music. |
live music comes in many forms music can be performed live but amplified by p-a systems - electric/synthesized instruments are of course processed at the outset, that is their sound... to me this explains why there can often be such divergent tastes and sonic preferences in reproduced music - different people can have vastly different reference experiences for ’live music’ some smaller venues let you hear some unamplified music mixed in with amplified (in a jazz club for instance, if you are sitting near the artists) it is reasonably rare that one gets to hear major artists perform live yet unamplified, but you can hear such naturally performed live music with local artists, acapella groups, street artists, smaller professional performance venues, classical venues (chamber groups) |
Yes. I don’t care much for the suggestion of a salesperson playing something in the store. That could be a very forgettable experience. [edit - and now I read @feldmen4 thought. Quite so.] Another rather el-cheapo option - seek out a church (however defined) where they have a resident choir accompanied by a pipe organ. If sitting through the service isn’t your calling, they rehearse, you know, and sometimes may have special performances of some choral piece/s by JS Bach if your lucky. |
