Live music is a shared experience that brings together sound, energy and humans, from audience reactions to spontaneous performances.
Live Performance: An Energy Calculator
Here’s how:
1-Music is designed to be a shared experience with the audience.
The concert is memorable because of this shared participation and a feeling of community is fostered.
2-Spontaneous performances are possible.
A live performance is not set in stone. It can change from one time to another, unlike a studio recording. Artists can be involved in the audience, make changes to the set-up, play longer parts of songs or adjust the mood of the venue.
When you’re not expecting it, it can make each performance special.
The Relationship of Artists and Audiences
See below:
- Visual communication matters
- The ambiance is created by the venues.
- The dimension and form of a performance space can influence the nature of a performance. A small room can give a small room feel, a large concert space can give a large concert space feel.
- Acoustics also affect the way that the music reaches the audience.
Why People Remember Concerts
Music is linked to memories.
Songs often bring up a place, a person or a significant life event to people. Being at a concert can add another dimension of memory to familiar music. Years later, listening to a song may cause you to remember the performance and the people present.
