though i was about this on page three of my bullshit thread in 2016, it's probably worth being more direct: - words can be seen as a tool to do a job - the right tool for the right job e.g. if i were to continue with, "not all languages have the right tools" then "tool" would be the wrong, and "word" would be the right: "languages will often have a word for which there is no equivalent in another language." Or there is an equivalent word, but it's so obscure as to be useless. i've made new topics for word requests, and it has . so let's try: If you find yourself saying, "There should be a word for this, if there isn't one" and you can't find the answer yourself, you have a word request. Please post it here; please help others find their words." |

Disclaimer: As people will be attempting to ask for words that may not exist, please be patient if they come across sounding like me at my worst. Salsa-level bad |

The word I currently need is most succinctly defined as, "Like 'Signal Chain', but moreso." Imagine you're viewing a framed photographic print. The photographer's domain is The Ansel Adams Signal Chain: [The Camera, The Negative, The Print] Pointedly, Adams packed it in there, and didn't continue on to The Frame, The Lighting, The Art Gallery, The Art Show, The Captions On The Placards, etc. etc. ...I am the sort who would want to control this whole... Signal Chain? and you see my problem. this phrase doesn't cut the yardbird at this depth |

the closest thing i can think of is this raymond scott quote: The composer must bear in mind that the radio listener does not hear music directly. He hears it only after the sound has passed through a microphone, amplifiers, transmission lines, radio transmitter, receiving set, and, finally, the loud speaker apparatus itself. ...and i do believe i once suggested something like [releasing an album that costs $20k because every copy comes with a $20k sound system to ensure an even experience across listenership] ...however, firmly believe scott shanked badly when he suggested the future would have the composer directly transmitting his thoughts to the listener. that robs people of their own reaction. it'd be like being force-fed cotton instead, i'm interested in creating an "experienc^H^H^H ...and you see my problem, here in this context, the word "experience" smells of both crusty bellbottoms and karen-grade marketing vernacular. i can't have experience in my experience. sorry jimi. sorry karen ...instead, i want to build some giant machine like in Cube 2: Hypercube. except, the meanest thing i could see myself actually trying is "can i make a room that somehow makes people get cross and argue with each other?" so it would heighten the effect of the adjacent rooms intended to trigger [fondness, giggles] i could predictably make them argue, but the topic and style would depend on who was in the room at the time. to do it, however, i'd need to control the lighting. the sounds. is it okay with the gallery if i make the argument room smell like dogshit? because i need to control the whole... signal chain? experience? maybe it's like a waveshaper for people. with simulated annealing |

...as a close miss: imaging works for photography, i would say. as "imaging" refers to everything... . from getting good light on a shot of someone's [strange mole/growth] -- to post-processing; proper colorspace and resolution --. to ensuring the doctor's computer monitor is color-calibrated [so he can diagnose someone's []] imaging: The Camera, The Negative, The Print, The Frame, The Lighting... we don't have this word for music. or any number of other things. i've been sorting through the usual bin of latin and greek recycling but nothing fits |
