Eu odeio LPs

🇧🇷 Eu odeio LPs.

Não porque têm som ruim.

Mas porque, na nossa era, representam a vitória do capitalismo tóxico, aliado a extraordinário marketing, sobre a ingenuidade e ignorância das pessoas, quando lhes vende um refugo obsoleto como se fosse artigo de luxo.

Fica pior quando se descobre que boa parte dos novos fonogramas, impressos e vendidos em vinil a preço de ouro, foram originalmente gravados em estúdio moderno com processo inteiramente digital.

Música em formatos digitais tem alta fidelidade por definição e é o mais próximo que se pode chegar dos músicos e sua performance no estúdio.

🇬🇧 I hate LPs.

Not because they have bad sound.

But because, in our era, they represent the victory of toxic capitalism, allied with extraordinary marketing, over the naivety and ignorance of people, when it sells them obsolete junk as if it were a luxury item.

It gets worse when it is discovered that a good part of the new phonograms, printed and sold on vinyl at the price of gold, were originally recorded in a modern studio with an entirely digital process.

Music in digital formats is high fidelity by definition and is the closest thing you can get from the musicians recording their performance in a studio.

    Indeed, the recent reappreciation of vinyl is not rooted in the format’s technical superiority but in the pursuit of a sensory and ritualistic experience that transcends mere acoustic fidelity. Rather than an optimization of sound, the act of collecting, handling, and playing records responds to an almost liturgical fascination with the materiality of music—an analog fetishism that finds its delight in the very imperfections of the medium. It is an exercise in nostalgic romanticism, comparable to those who invest in elaborate coffee stations to brew an espresso that, ultimately, is not significantly superior to that of an automatic machine, yet whose preparation becomes an essential part of the pleasure.
