Listeners want to enjoy music, the way they like it, the way they are used to listen to music. Assumed they want to learn something about music, e.g. how to listen to music, then they decide to learn, e.g. to take lessons. If you mix an educational approach with presenting your music as artwork, the presentation of your music as artwork will fail. Even educated listeners, musicians, tend to rip out segments even from operas, that are not split into songs. Listeners get stressed by educational approaches. They like to listen to music to escape stress, not to enhance stress. Do your artwork a favour, allow it to be artwork, don't degrade it to education ;). I'm not especially speaking about what you did, I'm talking about the general approach to mix music education with the artwork, in what way ever. Music education is music education and artwork is artwork. If it's part of the design that your jeans have holes it's ok, if you sell your jeans with holes to teach customers sewing, they unlikely will buy it. 2 Cents, Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
