Quote:
| But while listening to Ms. Levin's vigorous performance, I heard a deep ripple in the soundstage -- it was almost like a special-effect in a movie, like the deep sub-bass synth tones that erupt during Clarice Starling's conversations with Hannibal Lechter in The Silence of the Lambs. ... Speculating that the effect was either MIA or obscured in ensemble pieces, I turned to Beyond The Missouri Sky by Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden [Verve 537 130] and cued up "He's Gone Away," which is more a Metheny showpiece than a duet. Sure enough, on certain strongly plucked notes, the guitar sounded as though it was being processed through a reverb unit. What I think I was hearing was the electrostatic diaphragm vibrating sympathetically with the note -- or possibly being sent into oscillation. It doesn't last long, but it's inescapable once you've noticed it. |
