RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 KunĨar, Pavel T1 Perception of music from a sound recording JF Musicologica Olomucensia YR 2016 VO 23 IS 1 SP 111 OP 122 DO 10.5507/mo.2016.006 UL https://musicologica.upol.cz/artkey/mus-201601-0006.php AB Using grounded theory, this article attempts to look at the sound treatment of a musical record as an important component of artificial music. There are many possibilities to work with the sound of a recorded music, so the sound treatment becomes another interpretation. The interpreter in this case is the sound engineer. Using data collected from five interviews with sound engineers, music directors and composers, we are trying to prove, that although the sound works only as a music carrier, it has an importance of its own and can also be looked at in terms of aesthetic view.
