Well, maybe it is because we paint also, but yes, which blue is used is something we care about quite a bit. Even going as far as what they used chemically to achieve it.SODDI wrote:I don't think the average listener cares what instruments are on any recording whatsoever. Why should they? It is all part of the song as a whole and that is what they are listening to.
BBFG# mentioned paintings. Do you care what specific color of blue was used - cobalt or Prussian - in any painting?
Except for maybe guitar solos.
Then again, it were those questions of how they got the variances in color that started us painting in the first place.
In that regard, the person listening is still not average and likely has a latent musician inside them hoping to find their way out.
