Experiencing music, instead of just listening passively, is the ultimate goal. The multi-dimensional experience of a live music performance is what I would rather have. I was recently recalling the experience of sitting as a flutist in the orchestra, and depending on how the seating of the musicians in the orchestra is arranged, the experience would change from piece to piece. For example, the violins could be sitting front and right to me. Percussion, in particular the timpani, would be behind me. Brass and string bass would be to my left. This puts me in the music. I am surrounded with what extends outward in time and space, in time and space. It should be this way every time.

Listening to recorded music has it’s place, but it seems to be only a simulation of the real world. I want to be immersed in the music, with the ability to move anywhere in the space the music occupies.
