If we go back to our tour for a moment, we notice that when walking from room to room indoors, our voice, or notes, become dramatically altered. The instrument, because of its variable tunability, is built to adapt to not only each environment, but also has the unique ability to adapt to other instruments. The extension of this process is the ultimate control for meeting our objective of preserving and reproducing the music as desired. The absolute idea of creating the perfect storage and reproduction process is to carry the flexibility and versatility of the musical instrument into the audio reproductive chain. Here we need a degree of understanding that sets us apart and separate from the technical world.
Numbers apply to the absolute, but musical notes change from moment to moment.
Let me give you an example. Let's take a single stringed instrument and apply a bow to the string. As we play this string, we can hear the musical note take on its identified character. This note will never quite be the same again because of many factors. Yet, our technology would read this note as a constant instead of a variable.
