But Bruce, of course it is. It is interesting to know that surround
sound of any
description is used in events, concerts, installations etc.
On the opposite, I have too often been into a concert, in which surround
sound was used, but it wasn't advertised in any way in advance. It would
have been fun to know in beforehand, but possibly it's not the most
important thing to tell to the majority of the audience.
Exactly.... Boulez wanted his music to be performed. Why should he
advertise the loudspeaker installation, and not talk about his music?
This is what I tried to tell ...
One of that kind of
concerts was years ago in Helsinki, when Pierre Boulez conducted some
of his works. It was only in the concert hall, where I saw the army of
loudspeakers surrounding the hall.
The sad thing is, that even though I read posts about forthcoming
concerts
or installations somewhere, they are so far away that I cannot travel
there
to enjoy the event.
Honestly: I have < maybe > travelled to see some very special art
exhibition, for example. You would not travel to listen to < plenty of
loudspeakers in a concert hall >. Unless you would assume that the
composition/music is really worth it.
