The Disappearing Session or The Paradox of High Fidelity

Explore the paradox of high fidelity in music sessions, from the seemingly transparent picture to the increasingly opaque reality. This session delves into the manipulation of balance, time, and simultaneity in different recording techniques, including electrical recording, tape recording, and multitrack recording. Discover the transition from a photo-like representation to a more artistic painting-like experience. Also, delve into the origins and consequences of taking WP (Work of Phonography) seriously, where all phonograms are considered WPs and have no history when listening.
