The players have the choice of performing all the parts onstage or recording one set and playing the rest live. Most musicians take the second option, as Eighth Blackbird did: in any case the spirit of these works is bound up in the juxtaposition of real players and their simulacra."<BR/><BR/>If it is Kozinn's intention to downplay the importance of the recorded part (simulacra: an unsatifactory imitation or substitute [the secondary definition doesn't make sense in context]), then this is correct. <BR/><BR/>But, because the review sounds lukewarm, or indifferent, it would be more appropriate to use "doppelganger." I think.<BR/><BR/>Small point, big difference.Empiricushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629835829400843701noreply@blogger.com
