Limiting and Reflecting on my Digital Output – by Simon King

Before the widespread use of recorded sound, if you were a music aficionado with a favored piece of baroque music you would be lucky if you heard it more than a handful of times in your lifetime. The circumstances of the orchestra necessary to perform the piece, being able to afford to attend such a recital in the first place – many factors are necessary to listen to that music in the first place, let alone multiple times. Today I, and I think many others, have the experience of finding a piece of music, enjoying it, and then playing it on repeat until utterly exhausted of it and never want to hear it again.
