#Timbre

Timbre is the chromatic mirror reflecting a musician's ego through the color of sound. Like a cooking spice, it can dramatically alter the flavor of the same melody with a single dash. Yet its cruel subjectivity sometimes subjects it to scorn even in high-resolution environments. They say the moment right after an orchestra's soundcheck is the most blissful musical experience. Nonetheless, many fixate not on the performance but on the recorded timbre, embracing an absurd truth.
