Once you start to notice the many subtleties that go into a vocal performance, it is reasonable to ask “Is there a good way to describe them?”<\/p>\n

We can think of this as a kind of arithmetic. Consider, for example, the “average” version of a song — some sort of mean of all the ways that different singers perform it. Then consider a particular artist’s rendition, and take the difference:
\n


\nrendition<\/b>this artist<\/sub>   –   rendition<\/b>average<\/sub>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

What we’ve done here is remove information about the song itself, so that all that remains is whatever is unique to this artist’s performance.<\/p>\n

We can go further, and compare a single<\/i> performance by some artist against his\/her aggregate performances:
\n


\nrendition<\/b>this<\/sub>   –   rendition<\/b>aggregate<\/sub>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Of course all of this assumes that we have some way of converting a song into a form in which such arithmetic works — or even makes sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
