I found this scribbled in an old notebook. I don’t remember what inspired it, but I quite like it.

“Individual emotive response and quality of music do not necessarily have any correlation.

Commodity capitalism inevitably places a value on each ‘unit’ of recorded music. Perhaps by losing this through digitalization we will recognise the intangibility of value in music and therefore worry less about the function of music in a social context and focus more on its intrinsic qualities.”

Then again, that’s probably wishful thinking ;)
