Wandering Minstrels by WZRD
Open full image in new tabDescription
One of the greatest pleasures of life in rural Thania is the occasional visits from wandering Minstrels. Although Thanians have ample technology for the playing of recorded music this is something that is almost never done. Thanians recognise that the worst of live performances is vastly superior to the best of recordings. The pervasive background magickal field of Inthandonia tends to connect the audience to the performance in a deeply fundamental way that simply does not exist with a recording. Even with the best of Hi-fi equipment playing the cleanest recording of the most brilliant performance most Thanians simply hear speaker cones fluttering - there is simply no comparison to the visceral connection between live performer and live audience.
Live performers on Inthandonia weave a special magick that cannot be recorded - it's like the difference between eating a fine meal and listening to the sounds of someone eating a fine meal - recorded sounds just don't nourish the soul.
Consequently the semi regular visits from members of the minstrel guilds are always anticipated with great pleasure.

Marvelous scene and story. Could you persuade the minstrels to visit Cape Town, or maybe I'll have to settle for second best and get a recording...?

Wieder ein sehr schönes Bild von dir! Was mir nicht so gut gefällt ist die Textur des Pferdes; sieht mir etwas zu künstlich aus. Ansonsten -TOP-
