David Byrne: How architecture helped music evolve (video)
- jamesbritt 16y agoSomething I've wondered about is whether people would craft music that either exploits quirks of mp3 encoding (perhaps making the compression artifacts work as part of the music), or craft music designed to compress well, maybe by avoiding certain frequencies or timbres. I read an interview with Brian Eno where he said that when mixing a record he would go drive around and listen to it on a car stereo to hear how well it worked. I wonder if producers listen to their recordings after being encoded in, say, whatever format Amazon delivers.
