Ya, I'm without vocation at the moment, and this time of winter always rearranges my sleep schedule... Sometimes better to see less of the gray days. ...Funny story, I agree! It will not effect music entirely. But maybe what will continue to happen is that the expectations of quality in performance and recordings will raise unnaturally, because even good or great musicians will apply this sort of technology to their own composed music, or somehow take what they've played and render it unplayable in reality, or at least the producers will pressure them to do so. In turn, people will appreciate less the dignity of a not-so-perfect live performance. I think it is already happening. Glenn Gould predicted it for not too dissimilar reasons, although his exact prophecies certainly did not come true. But it's one reason why he quit the concert halls at a young age. I don't worry because there will always be people who like to hear the squeaks and the vulnerabilities, the human aspect, the social aspect, and just the dynamics of the real thing! Needless to say! But maybe there will be less artist support in the form of concert attendance and then real standards of musicianship will fall. On the other hand, artists in general have always been notoriously poor, so what's the difference, they'll find a way!! My brother's always saying we live in a soft society. All I'm sayin' is beware of all forms of technology in your life!! I'm 23 and I sound like an old codger!!
