I can see how the music experience can be different in different places. I am thinking of stages at the Akropolis for example. Or Central Park. Where I saw Andrea Bocelli last summer…but was bad!! Or an improvised stage at some dark night club. It makes for very different experiences. In Spain I saw an open air concert of Dulce Pontes, a Portuguese singer. It was summer, very hot and clouds started to gather, wind blowing, and lightening everywhere, it all added up to a spectacular scene. The same concert would have felt completely different in an opera house, in a red velvet cosiness.
But does architecture influence the live experience??….or the other way around? Really hard to say. One thing is sure: no matter how good the acoustics, or how big the loudspeakers, in the end it’s the artist that makes the concert.

]]> Comment on How Technology is Impacting Art and Culture by smallapplebites http://lostingreymatter.com/2012/01/19/how-technology-is-impacting-art-and-culture/#comment-284 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:39:13 +0000 http://lostingreymatter.com/?p=434#comment-284 Interesting stuff here.
Access to the media makes everyone an artist. More or less. But an interesting thought.
It is true that technology has made a lot of things more accessible to more people. People now know what is going on in this world. Not only in, let’s say, Afghanistan, but also in worlds like art, technology, etc. That is if the person is interested in it and ready to go and do some browsing and clicking. Internet is only continuing and widening what television has started decades ago. So, if thanks to this, more people think they are artists…isn’t that great! It’s also thanks to the global media that a lot more people CAN be artists, and don’t have to feel weird about it. Not long ago, being an artists, in some circles, was marginalised…

Oh yes, the other side of it all! The backlash. Internet, technology and maybe some other culprits, yes television also, have been feeding us little bits of everything. Certainly not too much in one go. We have gotten used to it. I am sure youngsters are even happy when there’s a commercial coming on. It has all ended up in the inability to keep our head with something for more than…5 minutes.
A push of a button, a click of the mouse, we can stop, change or pause whatever we are doing. Not to forget the skip button!
Really, me myself, I try and like to cut me off from everything sometimes. Too read that book. To lie down on the carpet, my head between my oldfashioned loudspeakers, and listen to a cd.
Or read this blogpost. And respond to it.
JOOST

]]> Comment on The Atlantic’s 14 Biggest Ideas of The Year by Jake Thomas http://lostingreymatter.com/2011/06/23/the-atlantics-14-biggest-ideas-of-the-year/#comment-176 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:23:26 +0000 http://lostingreymatter.com/?p=261#comment-176 Your points are hard to argue with, Bill. I just look at leagues like the NBA and they’re all built around the individual, not the team. Owners have the power no doubt, but the players bring the fans and nowadays people don’t have patience for teams that don’t win. If owners want the big returns they’ve got to bring the talent. But, the next year should shed some serious light on this debate.
