think about it
what defines a "collection"
?
more than 1? 9? six of one, half a dozen of the other?
any time someone has 'more than one anything'
it can be considered a "collection"..
that's kinda like trying to define what 'normal' is..
who defines normal? tom brokaw?
here are 3 pairs of shoes. this is my shoe collection.
"i only have 1 pair, therefore no collection yet"
If i had 1 synthesizer, would I be a "collector"?
how about 2? at that point would i be "collecting"?
i'd love to swap my butterfly and treefrog collection
for a nice Oberheim Matrix 12. any takers? ;)
what if someone had 1 master controller, 2 modules,
and a mixing console. u could say this person has
a "collection" of musical equipment."
..but would they be a "collector" ?
:)
"hi, im a guy who has a small collection of synthesizers
who likes making music and noise with them"
someone could easily say a person is "collector"
of 'newer' musical equipment too..
"i have 25 poly61s, 100 poly 800, and 83 Seil DK600, each of them
set to the same harpsichord preset"
that goes beyond collection. we're talking powerhouse ENTERPRISE here! ;)
