You mean that musicians would have to be keeping track of time? How very distracting for them.

- ptaipale 7y agoFor me, when playing/recording, it would really distract me (more than e.g. having a phone in silent mode so that when flow mode ends, I notice I'm hungry and need to wake up to the outside world, I can see who has tried to call). The Kraftwerk description sounds a bit eccentric to me. Their business model is about being eccentric, so no surprise there.
- inflatableDodo 7y ago>For me, when playing/recording, it would really distract me I think this might be easier if you are working as a group and have a big clock on the wall. I am a rubbish instrumentalist, but do hang around with a hell of a lot of musicians, and 'how long was that' does seem to be one of the most commonly asked questions of each other when they are in a studio. Also, if paying for a studio, they generally become very good at estimating the current time.
- ptaipale 7y agoSure, but I think things like "we can now do one take and then it's phone call o'clock" would set an unnecessary pressure to the performance. That's just me of course.
