Impressive how these circuit boards are made. Pretty far cry from your favorite long haired nerd slaving over a circuit board breathing solder fumes in his garage.

・・・
Researchers from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry have different, but generally complementary, theories to account for these population-level trends. Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation.⁠
⁠
Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened.⁠
These same researchers point to age-related changes to hearing acuity – specifically a lowered tolerance for loud and high-frequency sound – as one cause for a reduced interest in new music for some people.⁠
⁠
One explanation for the age-based reduction in music consumption posits that responsibility-laden adults may have less discretionary time to explore their musical interests than younger people.⁠
Some scholars question whether there is a straightforward link between the decline in the rate of new music consumption and increasing music intolerance.⁠

Iggy Pop: Albums Aren’t Products

 I worked half of my life for free.
 I didn’t really think about that.
 
 Until the masters of the record industry
 Kept complaining that I wasn’t making them
 Any money.

To tell you the truth when it comes to art,
Money is an unimportant detail.

It just happens to be a huge,
Unimportant detail,
To all of us.

A good LP is a being.
It is not a product.

It has a life force,
A personality,
A history,
Just like you and me.

It can be your friend.
Try explaining that to a weasel.

— Iggy Pop, BBC Music John Peel Lecture (2014)

Another look behind the scenes as master craftsman give us a glimpse of what goes into making special instruments.

Violinmakers normally use a dial caliper to measure the thickness of the plate as they remove wood, in order to reach the desired flexibility. I prefer to use light because density, and therefore transparency, is much more proportional to flexibility than it is to thickness. Also, Wood is not a homogenous product, and the light allows you to see how the density varies. When you have achieved an even transparency, you get a very even flexibility
