In the Thread: Remastering (and re-locating) Gould's hummm
Post Subject: Then why would they include it?Posted by Paul S on: 1/26/2008
If Gould hated his own humming and the engineers/producers could isolate and re-locate it, then why not just 86 it, for Pete's sake?!?
It seems to show, once again, that just because someone can record music and/or produce records it does not mean he is evolved in the sense that he even appreciates music as art (as opposed to a "product").
But maybe I'm reading too much into it. Perhaps the engineer, producer, whomever, simply digs it; or, they think we dig it?
Does anyone know of any GG recordings where the humming has been excised?
If the humming just has to be there then I would prefer it was at least "coming from Gould's mouth" in terms of perspective, rather than appearing as some sort of gratuitous, afterthough continuo.
Best regards,
