<!-- #thumb --> <p>I tried explaining the organization of my music library to our chief engineer. *He has a very logical structured mind. *There is little obvious logic and structure to my library. *This was going to be a difficult task.</p>
<p>I’ll give you a little background as to why I manage the library perhaps differently than some. *But maybe the same as you? *Whether I am demonstrating the system to guests, using it as a reference tool for new designs, or just simply enjoying it, I choose what is being played by the emotional response that music should bring forward in the listener. *It’s very dependent on my read of the situation and changes with every one. *I’ll give you an example.</p>
<p>A recent visitor was very anxious to hear “the incredible system” he had been reading about on our web pages. *He knew about the system. *He had high expectations. *Of course the music I chose was intended to meet his expectations. *I started off with a Brian Bromberg cut from his great CD “<a href="http://www.brianbromberg.net/wood.htm" target="_blank">Wood</a>“, a generous gift to me from my friend Neil. *Track 1,*The Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers,*is spectacular not because it has fireworks, but because it *sounds like Bromberg is playing in the room. *Realistic enough to drop a jaw. *That established the system’s resolving power. *I then moved to an older Reference Recording <a href="http://www.audiodiscs.com.au/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=53" target="_blank">Showcase</a> and played Sibelius: Finlandia. *This track engaged the visitor with the breadth of the orchestra. *Displayed the amazing stability the system offers of keeping each instrument exactly in its place regardless of volume.* I then finished with a cut he brought along. *Complete with fireworks.</p>
<p>With others I might choose something completely different. *Depends on the mood. *It is like going to a restaurant and choosing from the menu based on that very moment’s needs. *And that’s a good analogy for this is how my library is organized. *Using a tiered system of good, better, best, the music is lined up according to the mood it will engender.</p>
<p>Our music systems are built to evoke emotional responses based on the music we play and the level of enjoyment that music offers us. *It’s why I always mark the perfect volume level for each track. *It is why I organize my library according to the mood that piece will bring to the listener.</p>
<p>What works best for you?</p>
