Aesthetic Connection in the Digital Age

Shared music experiences are dynamic. Or at least they are supposed to be. When we experience music, there is a connection between the music source and ourselves. This is especially true in "live" music experiences. There is interaction between the one providing the music and the one receiving it. The audience is just as important as the performer, with energy going back and forth. The performer thrives on the energy from the audience and, in return, the audience experiences a full mind, body, and soul aesthetic experience.
