The Thrill Is Gone: Digital Music
B.B. King once sang "The thrill is gone," (sounding better on vinyl album) and when it comes to the current state of music, I have to agree. I'm not one to compare one era to another and declare either greater; music is an art form that must forever progress whether we're fans of those changes or not. When I say the thrill is gone, I'm talking about the way we, as fans, interact and consume our music. Permit me to clarify.
I'm a member of a unique generation. I was born into what some people only a few years younger might call a world of Luddites. Vinyl LPs and turntables were the custom, but as technology advanced on, our music became handy. As is usually the occasion, what we gave up in matter, we compensated in convenience.
Nonetheless, what makes my generation distinct is that we entered a world with technological limitations yet adopted any and all advances. I love my iPod currently. I admit it. The prospect of thousands of songs at my disposal is fantastic. And let's face it, hauling crates of records, not to mention turntables, amps and speakers along with me is just plain unfeasible. Yet, awash in a sea of MP3s, torrents and burned CDs is the very knowledge that made music such an essential part of my life.
Vinyl Albums - complete with the cover art, jackets, and linear notes - were more than just an anthology of songs. They provided an individual foreword to limitless artists, doorways by which you felt a deeper bond to their music. Every vinyl lp was a case study where you'd follow along with the lyrics in that perfect marriage between the written word and melody. You realized who wrote the songs, who produced them, where and when they were recorded and any other small information you could put away in your memory banks. Even the sequencing, that little nod from artist to listeners that said, "This is how I'd like you to hear my music" was important. Hardly a passive|an inactive|an unresponsive|an impassive|a submissive] reflection, listening to music was a dynamic activity.
Now we've traded songs titles for track numbers, cover art for skins and perhaps the worst of all, quantity for knowledge. There are a number of records I've learned in the past year that I've totally loved. Still, beyond a name of a band and maybe the name of the vinyl album, I don't have much for you. I can relate to you which tracks are my favorites but to name them would be just an educated guess. I couldn't single them out of a magazine. I can't even tell you their names. They are faceless, nameless, a mere collection of riffs. I can pick and choose the songs I like, destroying the lost art of the album. The thrill, B.B., is undeniably gone.
If this is the tragedy of digital music, then it is a sad denouement: the lost sense of a shared culture that we experience through music. The plain analytics of bit rates or boasting of our iTunes libraries oppose the contention at hand. They're a red herring, a route that only guides to genuine heartbreak. I aspire my music to have heart again, to have a soul, to be mine. I yearn for it to be human once again.
