Music reproduction is art


 

It finally occurred to me why this Stereophile cover is true. Music reproduction is  art. There is no right or wrong. Chasing technical accuracy is just another type of artistic presentation.

Who is this guy Art everyone is talking about? I know Matt the doorman, Bill at the bank and Sandy at the beach, but no Art.  Couldn’t resist the cheesy jokes!

Eisenberg goes on to compare the role of the recording producer to that of a movie director. Live recordings are analogous to filming a stage play, while studio recordings are “like movie making as we usually understand it”

@snilf I love this. Thanks for pointing it out.

The essence of art is the creative production of something. Ipso facto, reproduction is not art.
