The ''if'' suggest an hypothetical statement. Hypothetical questions
need some research or experiment in order to get the answer.
Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things.

Hi-res audio blows MP3s and AAC files out of the water. Essential data is lost when you listen to music via MP3 files because of the lossy compression that makes these files smaller. High-Resolution Audio can replicate the whole range of sound that the artist created when recording the content. Sony understands the importance of preserving the originality of music, which is why we’ve developed Hi-Res Audio products that allow audiophiles (like you) to listen to music in the best sound quality.
I listened to a file that I had downloaded in WAV which is a higher resolution than FLAC; this was Santana "Abraxas", an LP I bought in 1970, and since that time, have worn out many copies; to say I know every note on that LP is an understatement.
When I compared that file to my pristine LP, it was first in the lineup. As I listened, "It just doesn't get any better than this," I thought.
Now it was time for the LP; as the wax spun, I was floored on the first note; it was so definitive; after that keyboard intro, Santana's guitar just hung in the air, followed by the banging notes on the keyboard again, and then those unforgettable chimes; "Singing Winds and Crying Beasts" is the most perfect instrumental ever; IMO.
While the Hi-Res sounded good, the LP in my room felt good; I was flooded with all the memories I had experienced with this music playing in the background. Does anyone remember "Black Lights"; they made ladies legs glow in the dark when they wore certain kinds of stockings, what a scintillating sight.
So many colorful memories of my misspent youth passed before me as I listened, if only I could misspend them again. That's what the LP did for me; it regenerated my soul with it's soul; LP's have life, digital is the sound after it has been stripped of it's life.

Can you relate to the "Soul" of things?

No matter who the people are, or what the language, they will have a word for "soul"; from the Kalahari Desert to the Amazon Rain Forest, the people will have a word for soul; the essence of life in human beings. When a person dies, their soul leaves the body; since it's weightless and invisible, some people claim that it doesn't exist; but there are many things which exist that we can't see. I'm making a claim that I can prove better than you can disprove. I'm claiming that the soul of certain musical artists is captured on vinyl, and that my rig can reproduce that captured soul, to the extent that it seems as though the person is in the room. Although there is a proclivity to associate the word "soul" with African American music, I'm using it in a universal sense to include any music that projects a palpable sense of life; specifically the life that the music portrays. Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billie Joe" is just such a song; it projects a palpable sense of life in her neck of the woods; if you heard it on my rig, you would swear she was in the room. Since soul is both invisible and weightless, how can you prove that her soul isn't in the room? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZt5Q-u4crc How about a little more soul in the common accepted use of the word; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJOX5tCd1qs |
The meanings of words is their contribution to the meaning of an sentence. Only (indicative) sentences can be true or false. I.e. not words or terms. The so called ''correspondence'' theory of truth means that an sentence is true if it correspond with the reality. Sets, classes and properties means the same in logic. Properties are not imaginable without some bearer of the property while ''bearers'' can be seen as members of an set or class. A set can consist of one member only: a set with one member. Anyway words don't legislate about the truth. Otherwise the vocabulary would be all we need to discover the truth. If high school education lack in subjects of philosophy of science and logic then we get such contributions about ''the soul'' as in this thread. |
