Great points, especially the one about textures at the end of this video. What sounds are added and/or subtracted as a song goes on, and how does this keep the listener’s interest and heighten the emotions? Listening can indeed be an active experience, and on a great track or album, there are enough aspects to find in there for many, many listens. By the way, where is ol’ Graham Cochrane? Haven’t seen him in his own blog for a while!
Listening can be an active process, and there are enough features to locate in a great track or album to keep you listening for a long time. Where is old Graham Cochrane, by the way? I haven’t seen him in a long time on his own blog! Great observations, especially the one at the conclusion of the film concerning texturing.

Hi guys,
Try to identify the best parts of the music you listen to. They can be a unique guitar intro (like Hotel California), the way the bass plays in a short drum clip, or a melt-in effect on a vocal. Listen to them over and over again until you get the sound right. Then compare how these pieces perform on different devices – you’ll quickly be surprised by the differences you hear.
