tottaly agree ..
this very point did get me wondering .. thats why I talk about the sound
having a quality . a literal quality ..
reggae sound systems where homemade mish mash .. but the music
produced was made around the sysytems . not sepearte to them ..
the music came from the sound of the system ' that homemade box bin
in the yard dubbing off a tin shed '
a 'media performance is only in the conext of the system you present it
on ..
if your have great materail and a bad PA . play the PA not your materal
James brown . made everyone in his band play tight as sin . . small
PA's with no dynamic , compact dilivery maximises impact
laptops / or what
i think a sound system as the instument is the factor that brings people
closer to a performance or keeps them isolated ..
concious or uncounciously
