It’s easy to make the mistake of believing that music is produced as if from “thin air”. Because we don’t usually appreciate or see all of the work and practice that go into making a song or a musician sound good. In addition, today’s music is enjoyed with the help of a panoply of technical wizardry including things like UltraSound Amplifiers.
The point is that it takes a lot of hard work and technical expertise – on top of sheer raw talent – to make modern music sound as good as it does. Which is why we show our appreciation for a great piece of music by clapping (as well as supporting the musicians and their crew by buying their records).
