Omnipresence, Decadence, Eminence

Becoming ubiquitous, music becomes an afterthought.


Saturation heralds decline in listener appreciation and cultural impact.  Difficulties arise in apprehension of originality and subtlety, and less attention is given to the quality of sound reproduction.  As an event, sound is diminished; as a perception, its intensity is dulled.

These are unacceptable conditions for the musician and composer of integrity, who will not compromise the finer points of art.
