"The seemingly infinite accessibility of music files online points to its own limitations. What digital media cannot reproduce is the particular atmosphere of the live performance, its presence here and now, its emotional effects, the shared community of musicians and audience, and random disturbances. These irreducible factors mark the live performance as an evanescent event that can be represented symbolically in fiction and poetry but cannot be reproduced technologically."
