But (to augment SnarlyDwarf's and Pat Farell's responses still further), it is all artifice - every bit of it, the whole shebang, from musician to speakers. What is music, if not artifice? And that's before you go anywhere near the Black Stereophonic Arts. This is no more artifice than any of the other tricks practised in the attempt to create perfection in an imperfect world, to "restore Nature to what it was" as somebody wrote 400 years ago. If we all wanted to eschew artifice, we'd be sitting in fields and listening to blackbirds, not in padded cells to loud amplified noises. (Although one might be drawn while there to reflect that even that isn't such certain advice as would have been thought a few years ago, given all we've found out in the last few years about the individuality and practiced skills inherent in birdsong). Anyway, enough of the metaphysical ramblings.
