When I think about a life in pro audio, and especially experiencing live audio, there are aspects of it that, to me, are universal. When I have those times when I think about leaving a pro audio life (as I have recently), audio seems to call back to me to always consider staying. And whether I remain or leave a pro audio life, here is what Great Audio has revealed to me and my understanding.
Audio bathes us like no other experience. When audio is present and great, what can be heard can feel akin to standing in the bright light of sunshine. When audio is present and great, what can be heard can also feel akin to standing in complete darkness, with only the stars to guide oneself.
Great Audio, operated by persons, does not discriminate nor mind about the content of what is being delivered through its numerous designs. Great Audio attempts to ensure that all humans present are moved by it and respond to it with emotion to its delivered content.
Great Audio does not discriminate nor mind about the distinct characteristics of the human operating it. Great Audio does not mind which nation the operator may belong to or reside in. Great Audio does not mind the shade of dermis of the operator. Great Audio does not mind which gender is operating it. Great Audio does not mind a person’s size or weight. Great Audio does not mind if one is rich or poor, young or old. Great Audio does not mind if one’s hair is short or long, or if the operator is bald. Great Audio simply does not mind any of this. Because when all of the collective human audio operators around the world deliver Great Audio, then Great Audio is made present for all other humans in attendance to experience.
Great Audio does mind that the operator cares. Great Audio seemingly speaks to the operator and wonders if the operator can hear its presence, and with the largest audio designs, wonders if the operator can also feel its presence as well. Great Audio cares if the operator is safety conscious, it will seemingly conform and abide to the caring operator’s wishes. Great Audio will also safely conform and abide to the caring technicians who build its on site design, appliances and apparatus.
At live events, Great Audio seems to wonder if the operator is excited about its presence and funnily enough, Great Audio seems to be very satisfied when the operator is exhilarated by its presence.
After many years of my experiencing Great Audio luckily around our planet, I am thankful that its working aspects and profound impact upon people will extend itself in the human experience well into the near and very distant future. And I feel strongly that this will take place, regardless of my own future career choices.
