This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I begin a two-part exploration inspired by Steven Wilson's The Requiem for a Village.
In Part One, I get into some bigger ideas about music, sound and the way we listen. What happened to the pursuit of imperfection? Why have we become so obsessed with making everything sound technically perfect? And have we reached the point of digital fatigue where the very technology designed to improve our listening experience is actually taking something away from it?
It's time to have a serious conversation about analogue, the warmth of imperfection and whether we need to rediscover the character, personality and soul that can sometimes get lost in the digital age.
Perhaps it's time we stopped chasing perfection and started listening again.
Turn it up, sit back and join me for Part One of this journey.
