Axial Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Our Audio hobby is in the pursuit of music discovery and reproduction. Discovering new artists, learning about their skills, their instruments, their trades. We all love music or we wouldn't be here talking about the latest DAC and that last speaker. Audio without music is like heavens without angels. What kind of music? Organ? Choral? Soul? Calypso? Bossa Nova? Tango? Or Opera? None of those, but about Chamber Classical, Jazz, Blues, international, and all of the above and everything else in the music world that rocks our hearts and bring tears of joy in times of chaos. I would love to not only share music but also all related; discussions of the highest supreme level where boundaries are broken and we let it rip wide open in the vast immense space of the universe. This could be the beginning of the end ... the choice is ours as a team. We can expand or we can shrink. There are roughly seven trillion music styles I would love to start with, and this the goal ... Also, there are eight billion rules; but none is valid. There is no agenda, no bias, no sales pitch, no best, no worse, no price tag, no ultimatum. It's a pandemic music thread...in music, in lyrics, in words, in discussions, in advancement, in knowledge, in sharing, in what vibes in these times, in this moment, in our lives. Don't count anything, just discount everything. Participate, stay mute, this is your decision, not mine. ...Without borderlines ... Sound Matters Link to comment

I just recently discovered her, I now am a subscriber to her YouTube channel. Great voice, very charismatic smile. Check her out; she brings a good dose of cure in the system.

Axial Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Does it strike any musical chord in some of the style of audiophiles in these around globe corners? What kind of DAC and preamp do we need to spin this on a turntable of the digital age? Sound Matters Link to comment

Tell me, which instrument is your favorite Frank, the one that speaks to your soul and heart directly? Probably the violin, Bob - in the hands of a master, it can tear your heart apart, and put it back together again so much better than it was before ... 🙂 Axial 1 Link to comment

Yes, that single was just released yesterday...brand new. And so are few other music videos I posted. Very fresh stuff some of it; so it speaks to us (to me anyway) on the same pandemic wavelength. And each artist has his/her own style of feeling and expressing, ultimately reaching our own inner vibes, mine anyway. I feel way more connected to the music and the artists as never before in my lifetime (2/3rd of 100). It doesn't matter if it's from a mega hi-fi sound system or from a USB stick plugged in in a DAC from Nepal with red display for the high res numbers. ...Or a sota turntable with a digitally recorded album from the Sahara desert during a fierce firing sandstorm @ midnight over the satin sky illuminating the dunes from breaks in the stars of the moment. ☆ Take the time, to listen, to live, and to die. Play it the way you feel it. DuckToller 1 Sound Matters Link to comment

Popular Post Teresa Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 My pandemic music playing is the same as before the pandemic. However, my purchasing of physical formats have changed drastically with social distancing, face masks, etc. Perhaps I am getting paranoid. Before the pandemic I purchased many CD and SACD lucky finds for 59 cents to 1 dollar from Grassroots Books and thrift stores, post pandemic not any more. Pre-pandemic Grassroots Books had large crowds. Post-pandemic that has changed now as they let in only a few people at a time, and the others are supposed to wait in their car until it is their turn. Also I am afraid to touch items other customers have handled so I'm not going to the thrift stores for now. I'm only buying necessities and groceries (such as frozen food, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.) that I can't or won't order on the internet. I'm also afraid to ride the city bus so I walk everywhere, I walk to Walmart which is 4 miles from my apartment and only buy what I can carry home. My arms and legs must be getting stronger, not bad for an old lady who is in the high risk group for Covid-19. Post-pandemic I'm buying SACDs, canned food by the case, etc. on the internet. Music downloads and of course the streaming services are the absolute safest in the Covid-19 era. sphinxsix and Axial 1 1 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums. I do a search in that file to find out what I said or did in the past. I still love music. Teresa Link to comment
Axial Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Prior to the pandemic, I was much more into Opera and Tango. Now I expanded my music repertoire internationally...Blues for example. I always liked Blues, it's just that right now it's Black Coffee. When I go shopping I'm masked, before I wasn't. I buy less music but I buy more food, more than I need. I don't know why, it is what it is. But with all the music concerts cancelled I want to know what the musicians are doing. Halloween is coming up, I'm looking Halloween music. Do you know how Halloween music sounds like? ...Accordion? Teresa 1 Sound Matters Link to comment
