I don't believe it's about performance or a return to analog, especially since that's almost impossible today (for example, using these types of headphones to listen to streaming music). Instead, it's a search for music rituals, even if they are rituals of consumption. People are looking for small rituals in this moment where spirituality and meaning are so scarce...
Hi Dimas, totally, I love your framing around it being about reconnecting with a more ritualistic practice. I do feel like the analogue aspect helps people to tap into those rituals though on some level, whether it's scrolling with a clickwheel through iPod going through your own private music library, or even the spiritual sensation of listening to an amazing sound system, it's very difficult create the sense of ritual if we're just streaming from spotify on our iPhones, listening through airpods
Yes, totally! When I talk about rituals, I mean everything from untangling headphone wires... to listening to a cassette tape, like Erika de Casier did for the release of her album Lifetime. I see these signalss more as something ritualistic than an actual return to analog. I love this mix of digital, analog, and... mystical.
