About Geffrey van der Bos
Driven by quiet rebellion and stubborn curiosity, I wander into systems and ask, “what if?” I design software to help people navigate financial stress and I’m obsessed with music. Husband to Illustrator Julia and guardian of Loki the Shiba Inu.
A surprising thing I noticed on a good audio system is that adding more instruments doesn't push the others out of the way.
The sound doesn't get smaller or more crowded. The headphones (in this case) are staying out of the way so the recording's own spatial information survives all the way to your ears.
It's really something you have to experience. But it is especially interesting in music as busy as extreme metal.
