Nature’s Way – III

simple

On the Parallel Audio front, I find when I get embroiled with fussing over a detail that is effectively trying to fix a problem created by a fix which usually creates yet another problem that needs fixing, I end up with a mess as convoluted as this sentence. When I regroup, backup, take it from the top and find a simpler, more direct, streamlined method, it irons out the wrinkles and simultaneously clears up multiple issues all in one smooth move. I’ve done this many times while working on the Project.

Good design is the art of compromise. It requires global thinking to avoid the pitfalls of getting mired on one point while ignoring many others. This is why the Project doesn’t make any single element the sole focus of its design. By considering the consequences of every decision along the way, the Project’s journey has been kept, from beginning to end, as direct and simple as possible. This keeps the compromises and pitfalls at a minimum. It endows the Project with low distortion, low resonance, and a balanced, even, smooth off-axis response—and that means natural sound.

Parallel Audio uses nature’s way, the lazy streamlined way to make the sound of reality : direct and simple.

Nature’s Way – II

quiet

I often struggle with the state of the contemporary art scene. From the academic side, artists, teachers, and curators are constantly demanding more—more meaning, more impact, more more. It’s a kind of art inflation; the infinite growth principle applied to the arts. Of course, you know what that means. All bubbles burst. The frenzy of postmodernism has crashed and burned, resulting in art in which its meaning is strained and its aesthetic bleached. Contemporary art can only be appreciated by the inner circle of those in the know and in the nude. Left behind are the rest of us who direly long for art we can wallow in freely, without pretense, without pretending we like what we really feel sucks. I’ve not followed the postmodern path. Instead, I’ve taken a different fork in the road; the easy way out. My eye leads the way for me. My heart guides my choices. I let nature take its course. I keep to the original ideals of craftsmanship and beauty. Art adds to life when it has something to say and nothing to prove. When it speaks, it never shouts, and it never uses words. Just like Nature : elegant and quiet.
