In music we talk about key and chromatic scales. For musicians now this has been reduced to merely going up a step.
What is a key? It opens a door. Does it do so in the music you have to listen to now?
Chromatic - the meaning of the word means . . . colour. Where is the colour from going up half a step?
The trouble is the tuning. Since the 1870s we have been robbed of doors to be unlocked by key and chromatic has lost its colour. In both, music has lost communication of emotion.
Being acutely aware of such things I'm not just interested in hifi sound reproduction but what the recording process is reproducing. So I tune pianos.
Perhaps with
people might hear a difference. And I go to the extreme to test how I'm recording -
and to achieve balance in conversations between instruments
