What a nice interview, thank you! About the last bit -
i tend to disagree: As a musician, I do indeed find most people hear in a way that leaves me sometimes wondering if we witnessed the same event, but as a fellow crazehead (I am virtually crazy on sounds, which is why I listen to them, and how they make music) I find that audiophiles do truly listen - even it might again be something completely different. Sometimes their parameters show slightly distorted priorities, but hey, who am I to say..So even if the amateur player is to be preferred to the nonactive "Hearer", a "Listener" is already of high value, thanks for listening!!
