Bilbo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What we see is more important that what we hear. Apparently. I am doomed! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23717228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why is probably why my band get so many gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 One of several reasons why the Concertgebouw Orchestra lets people play behind curtains, when they audition for free spots in the orchestra. That said, afterwards, applicants have to play solo in front of an audience, even when the empty position ("chair") is not the first or second one, and the player does not risk having to stand up and solo when the contracted soloist suddenly can't perform.

KevB Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Explains most boy or girl bands I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Makes sense to me, especially for covers bands. If the audience already know the songs then they can 'play' a lot of them in their own heads - which is probably why the occasional bum notes from the bassist are rarely noticed.

Skol303 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Very interesting. So there's more to 'stage presence' than fur coat and no knickers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I think it's obvious isn't it? That's why people go to see a live performance, is to get the visual, as well as the sound which they can hear at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 And this is news and needed research? Surely we've known this for years. Bands have survived on nothing more than image for years. Isn't 'The Voice' based entirely on this concept. The judges are blind so the image is not taken into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
