  1. 1. If 2006 had allowed for electronics, and the Cavaliers had used non-acoustic sounds to emphasize effects of the 'Machine':

    • The show would have lost what was cool about it

Watching the 360 broadcast reminded me today that Dennis DeLucia stated emphatically that all of the mechanical sounds were made by acoustic instruments... so would it have been better to have "real" electronics? Or would it make it not as cool? Splain. :bleah:

Possibility of confusion. Read the question; don't answer based on the title of the thread.

The show would have lost what was cool about it.

Similarly, let's say SCV's Miss Saigon show wasn't performed until 2009, when electronics are allowed. To produce the helicopter sounds in the beginning, a pit member would simply hold down a button on a synthesizer.

That, right there, is exactly why I do not support electronics.

Art thrives in its limitations.

The innovation to create the machine sounds was one of the coolest things about the show.
