Post Subject: Shannon's tunnels and amp circuitsPosted by Paul S on: 2/19/2008
The recent protracted electricity nonsense has given me some particular situations to think about, and the Shannon references have started me thinking about the "Point of Divergence", not just in terms of sound and music but also in terms of consciousness, along with all its "background" trappings, such as expectations.
There are already posts at this site about musical epiphanies happening in automobiles. I will give myself up here to mention that some of my own most profound musical experiences came during (then legal) LSD experiments, when the only thing of note that was "altered", as far as I know, was my brain chemistry, and the "sound system" "responsible" for the musical ecstacy was a college-staple KLH portable record player.
Then, there is the ML2, which seems to take a +/- rigorous approach to dealing with consciousness/"expectations", whether acquired or basal, by somehow dishing out sound that has been "dealt with" in some sort of proprietary manner that is supposed to related to "how we hear".
I understand from "experience" that "things from outside" can "enter the equation" and alter our perceptions, but I sure don't understand much more than that.
So I appreciate that some people have an approach more rigorous than voodoo.
Best regards,
Paul S
