It might be more emotional because you know there are humans performing it.

But I doubt you could identify it as more emotional in a blind sound test. The sound is recorded with the same microphones and is played through the same speakers, it will sound identical in both cases. (This is assuming that most seats hear sound from speakers rather than from the instruments directly, which I believe is a fair assumption for most seats in most broadway theaters.)

This is basically the same idea as why people go to see the real Mona Lisa rather than a reprint. It looks 100% identical in every way, but knowing that it’s the real thing rather than a reproduction makes a difference anyway.

Yeah I watched It Follows with Disasterpeace doing a live accompaniment in the cinema, it was pretty epic

obviously that is a true statement, the live theater band gig is dead, but they didn't taken into account that as movies became more popular, the amount of movies playing in theaters at any time of day meant there was no way live bands could cover all the screenings. they also didn't realize that audible spoken dialogue would be absolutely crucial to the modern movie experience (for the past ~95 years). recorded sound was inevitable in the evolution of movies as pop culture.

Now i see an orchestra running through high grass and being picked out one by one by a pack of Velociraptors.

Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra did one this past weekend with Ghostbusters as the movie they were playing to. I didn't know about it until it was too late because it sounded fun AF

Saw Jurassic Park with a live orchestra in the states, its awesome.

There’s a Star Wars symphony I desperately want to see. They play the music live and it’s a bucket list of mine.

>Well they weren't wrong, I've never been to a movie with a live band.

How about a live recording?

It definitely does happen in the US. I live in Cincinnati and they had a lord of the rings one a few years ago. Keep your eye out!

I think that's a little different. With video technology there's no need to go buy theater tickets for a show. The entire industry is already obsolete to begin with.

Might as well just record the stage performers on video as well. Maybe they can make one definitive video cut and stream it to my house so I can watch it in my pajamas.

That's kind of an odd place to use recorded music. If I'm paying the outrageous price to see a live Broadway show I'd want to hear live music.

Holy cow! This is a thing?! I want to go... sadly, not in the US. Arrg

What a double standard regarding their position on music in films. They were keen to exploit a medium that put actors out of work (according to their logic) yet protested when the same process was applied to them.

Is all discussion centered around AI art in relation to this being deleted?

This argument continues everywhere where new principles, techniques and technologies emerge, and people only see the dangers for themselves, not the benefits for everyone including themselves.

He's a mighty tromboner

This is so awesome! I cannot believe that I'm this many years old before finding out that this exists!

Oh definitely check that out. They do a back To The Future one and play over the entire movie, Silvestri’s score pops!!!

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

Aren't you literally making the same argument as the musicians for movies?

I once saw a screening of Harry Potter accompanied by a live orchestra.
