I have listened to “Asian Dream.” Thank you, bryanq, for the link.
There is more good music than I can listen to. But that’s okay, I guess. I listen to a lot of recorded, reproduced, or synthetic music. I don’t have much chance to listen to real music.
Via this computer, Internet, Youtube, I enjoyed the reproduction of the recorded performance of the Makoto Ozone Trio. But it won’t stick with me as memorable music. In my opinion, it is not real music. If I could have been present and felt the vibrations from the piano, the string bass, and the drums with my whole body (and not just hear sounds coming from these small speakers) and if my hearing and attention was sensed by the musicians, perhaps somewhat influencing the performance, THEN it would be real music, in my not-so-humble opinion.
Perhaps, if a person has never had the chance to participate in real music to any significant extent, then that person may have difficulty imagining the real thing when stimulated only by a reproduced recording.
