Fire, Warmth, Light

Music may impose itself upon the listener, draw the listener in, or exist as a part of the listening environment, with the potential to be engaged in varying degrees by the listener.


Times, settings, and temperaments of artist and audience form the listening experience as well as the sounds themselves, each aspect contributing to the total effect of a performance or recording. 

The responsibility of the artist to the listener, however, is the obligation of the artist to the art.
