About INNER-AUDIO
MUSIC is the highest of all arts. If so, then recorded music must be the second best . Recorded music is much more than simpley imitating and reproducing live performances. It allows composers and musicians to express themselves in a way not possible in a live concert. And the listener is put in an intimate and pure relationship with the music itself stripped from extra-musical distractions. Recorded music is art of its own.
INNER-AUDIO deals with all aspects of recorded music, from unforgettable recordings to recording studios. Music enthusiasts will find record reviews (incl. music videos), discographies of selected composers, conductors and musicians as well as artist interviews and reports of people who work for the recording industry.
MUSIC is the goal, AUDIO is its instrument. It is by manipulating sophisticated playback systems that the unique and abstract experience of listening to records is elevated to its highest level. INNER-AUDIO presents the technology that enables retrieving ultimate pleasure from valuable record collections. That includes in-depth reviews of high-end components and systems. We also cover vintage gear, events and people working in the industry, relevant technological issues not forgetting exceptional accomplishments by Hi-Fi enthusiasts.
No reviewer can give a fully objective view of a component no matter how meticulously the reference gear has been chosen, no matter which measurements are taken (some are useful) or which music samples have been used. No matter how much information is given on the listening room etc. There are simply too many exogenous variables in the equation. For INNER-AUDIO the best method to guarantee that reviews and articles communicate some objective content is to make sure that the reviewers are experienced enough so that they know how to place the device in a context both sonically and economically, and that the subjective views are written with clarity and substance.
