saw a program about noise on the bbc, featuring the rock band "status quo." i can't remember at what decibel level endorphins kick-in but it was discovered that amplified music just before that level became much more "pleasureable" to the those listening when the volume was cranked up to reach it.
i would suggest that singing dowland's songs in a non-stagey tone of voice to a room filled with attentive listeners and having it amplified - incidently, as it were - is much different than belting it out into a microphone to get a stadium crowded with screaming kids leaping out of their seats. i wonder what you (plural) would say if sting called to ask you to play on his follow-up campion album? olè - bill --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Roman, > > I understand you are frustrated. > > But listen playing with amplification is just a way > to hide the weakness of > Stings voice.
