i'm gonna have to disagree with that statement in context with the thread.
if society operated on such a pure, 'be in the moment' sort of way, i am
sure we would have also figured out a way better way to experience
ephemeral phenomena.  But we don't, and we have spent alot of time, money
and technology on processes and equipment that documents sound, words,
projections, whatever.

I wish i could have been there in the studio watching Miles and Trane
blowing at the 'kind of blue' sessions, but ya know what, i wasn't even
born yet.  Does the fact that i wore the grooves off the record say
anything about what was 'CAPTURED'?  Or did it all go into the air, and the
recording means nothing?
